Q: 

Could Rails 3.0's "gem install rails" or "bundle install" install a sqlite3.dll as well?

Rails 3.0 installation on Windows was almost seamless, except it'd still just say sqlite3.dll is missing and I think the solution is to find it and then put into one of your path such as c:\ruby192\bin or c:\windows ?

Supposedly, can gem install or bundle install actually put it somewhere that is usable?

+1  A: 

SQLite itself is a third-party library and it cannot be packaged within driver. As an example: should RubyGems also install MySQL when installing ruby-mysql? The answer is, no.

MySQL is so big... compared to SQLite3... which is extremely small. I think we can cut the line at "third party", but then some other third party package, we can still gem install, can't we?

It doesn't really matter how big it is. Don't forget, Ruby is available on a couple of platforms. Do you really want to deliver with `gem install` binaries for Windows, Linux and MacOSX? Or ship three different gems for each platform? This is not a RubyGems way.
