Description

Right now dependencies on the compiler are screwed over by racc (runtime) having a faux-gemspec that ships with ruby. Splitting out the compiler would make it trivial to have a developer dependency on the compiler and a runtime dependency on the regular racc gem.

I'm (very) happy to do the work to split it out if this is approved.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing how the faux-gemspec and the runtime/compiler pieces are packaged; define the split so developers can depend on the compiler while runtime users depend on racc, then verify both dependency paths work independently.
