I have uploaded the changes to a fork <
https://github.com/justincan/snapcraft>.
The gist snapcraft.yaml is here <
https://gist.github.com/justincan/81ba9d61d37e84033d4e270b4cef5ddd>.
 - Seems to work fine
A rails snapcraft.yaml is here <
https://gist.github.com/justincan/f217ae081b7da090de5dc03f19f995f5>
 - This is for the rails framework, not a rails app.
 - Need to alias bundle after install
 - Bundler affected by chown issue.
 - Need to add (+use) gcc, etc - because the included bundler will want to
install gems that have native extensions

In general, native extensions now seem to work.
