Probably not enough for what you have in mind, but the only (rather untidy)
way I've done the odd very minor tweak to a Gem distribution is in a
post-install section in the Makefile.  See devel/rubygem-ncursesw as an
example[1].

Not pretty, in general I try to get the fixes in upstream where possible.
