[Rails] rails version check for gems

I'm seeing a handful of gem bugs on rails3 that are going unresolved
because the fix breaks the gem on rails2.

What is the preferred way to add rails version conditions to a gem?

Is checking the Rails::VERSION::STRING what folks should be doing?

if Rails::VERSION::STRING.start_with?("3")
do rails 3 stuff
else
do what u were doing
end

Seems like that would break something once Rails 4 comes out. ;-)

Pointers to best practices appreciated. Thanks
Tony Primerano
