Gem configuration options

How do you pass configuration options to extconf.rb when installing a gem?
Specifically I'd like to configure ruby-gd.

$ gem install ruby-gd ??something?? --with-freetype --with-ttf --with-jpeg --enable-gd2_0

Thanks.

gem install ruby-gd -- --configure-options

Is that a new option? I thought it was --build-flags.

~$ gem --version
1.0.1
~$ gem help install
Usage: gem install GEMNAME [GEMNAME ...] [options] -- --build-flags [options]

-- tells RubyGems to stop processing options. --configure-options or --build-flags are just dummy names for whatever it is you actually want to specify.

That makes sense. Thanks.
