Specially because setup.rb in its current version does not work if the
setup.rb file is not in the same directory as the sources, i.e. you
can't do `ruby /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/setup.rb install`.

We need to either patch it to make it work by looking in the current
directory instead of the directory where setup.rb is (better), or to
copy setup.rb into the sources dir before building and removing it
after.
