Hi,

Sometimes the maintainer needs passing hints to extconf.rb, such as
- --with-<feature>=<directory>

I tried:
	dh_auto_install -- --with-<feature>=<directory>
        dh_ruby --install -- --with-<feature>=<directory>
        dh_ruby --install --with-<feature>=<directory>
without success, and looking at the dh_ruby.rb source code it seems
there is no way to do that.

Then the only solution I found is to quilt patch extconf.rb to hard
code the hints, which isn't satisfactory.

Thanks in advance,

_g.
