Application plugins

Rails
1

In cakephp (a rails like framework) there is an app/plugin directory.
Here is the a “default” layout:

plugins/blog/controllers:
plugins/blog/controllers/blog_controller.php
plugins/blog/models:
plugins/blog/models/blog.php
plugins/blog/views:
plugins/blog/views/blog:
plugins/blog/views/blog/index.ctp
plugins/blog/views/blog/view.ctp

I really like, that I can just drop an application in that folder,
install the database stuff, and then have a working application.
The above url would be
host/blog/
host/blog/view/$id

Can I achieve the same In rails? How?

The “Engine” plugin does a similar behavior. Last I checked it was not
compatible with Rails 2.0 that just came out but works fine with older
versions and I am sure it will be working with Rails 2.0 soon.
