Would you mind elaborating on the pain point a little bit? I do remember
that is an issue with libraries installed as gems, but can't recall that
it caused a lot of agony.

What comes to mind is installation in ~/.gem of the current user? This
is still not respecting PREFIX, yet at least less invasive than a
system-wide installation.
