ruby wrapper issues

Two quick questions about the ruby compilation.

1). When I'm compiling the ruby wrapper under darwin I get a lot of
warnings like:

rwin -I.  -I/sw/include -I/sw/include -Wno-uninitialized -Wno-
unused-function  -c quantlib_wrap.cpp
In file included from /sw/include/ql/qldefines.hpp:54,
                  from /sw/include/ql/quantlib.hpp:22,
                  from quantlib_wrap.cpp:909:
/sw/include/ql/config.hpp:101:1: warning:
"PACKAGE_BUGREPORT" redefined

where "PACKAGE_BUGREPORT" is defined in ruby.h but set to "".  I'm
assuming this is normal right?  Will this affect ruby in any way?

2). When "setup.rb install" is passed --prefix, the wrapper is
installed in the ruby lib directory (with the new prefix) but when the
--prefix is excluded, the wrapper is installed into the ruby site lib
directory.  I'm assuming this is a bug so I made a quick patch (made
against the current cvs version) to correct this so that when --prefix
is passed, the wrapper is installed into the site lib directory.  
(although I probably made the diff incorrectly since I really don't
know cvs' diff command)

Mark.
