  # == Gem::Specification
  #
  # The Specification class contains the metadata for a Gem.  Typically
  # defined in a .gemspec file or a Rakefile, and looks like this:
  #
  #   spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s|
  #     s.name = 'rfoo'
  #     s.version = '1.0'
  #     s.summary = 'Example gem specification'
  #     ...
  #   end
  #
  # There are many <em>gemspec attributes</em>, and the best place to learn
  # about them in the "Gemspec Reference" linked from the RubyGems wiki.
