Is it normal to have the following directory structure under “vendor”  
in Rails 3?

/ruby/1.8/bin  
/ruby/1.8/cache  
/ruby/1.8/doc  
/ruby/1.8 /gems  
/ruby/1.8/specifications

I removed the directory and did a bundle update, and it put the  
directory and its contents right back. I’m a little fuzzy on bundle,  
so I don’t know if this is normal behavior.

The directory is not listed in my gem environment:
