Extensions that use the RubyGems plugin API.
As of RubyGems 1.3.2, RubyGems will load plugins installed in gems or $LOAD_PATH. Plugins must be named 'rubygems_plugin' (.rb, .so, etc) and placed at the root of your gem's #require_path. Plugins are discovered via Gem::find_files then loaded. Take care when implementing a plugin as your plugin file may be loaded multiple times if multiple versions of your gem are installed.
The following list of RubyGems plugins is probably not exhaustive. If you know of plugins that we missed, feel free to update this page.
