title: "resources"-directory for ruby gem
body: <p>I'm currently experimenting with creating my own gem in Ruby. The gem requires some static resources (say an icon in ICO format). Where do I put such resources within my gem directory tree and how to I access them from code?</p>
  
  <p>Also, parts of my extension are native C code and I would like the C-parts to have access to the resources too.</p>
