Summary:                    FindRuby.cmake uses an incorrect method to detect if
vendor directory is available.
Description: 
I'm specifically talking about the following line:
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/FindRuby.cmake;h=c4adfd1ee985a4f147796da654fa0b97fe61ee2f;hb=HEAD#l98

It seems that opensuse is the only distro shipping a vendor-specific.rb file
which is not a standard ruby convention. Archlinux, Debian, probably no other
distro uses this except Opensuse.

I emailed the opensuse ruby maintainer and he indeed said vendor-specific.rb was
only introduced from macports. You should be checking if the following variables
exist in ruby:

RbConfig::CONFIG['vendordir']
RbConfig::CONFIG['vendorlibdir']
RbConfig::CONFIG['vendorarchdir']
