I don't think you can do what you're trying to do in Rails alone, however, I'd appreciate to be shown wrong. The reason is that public is not handled by your application at all. Rather, requests to files in public are handled by the web server -- and that's a good thing, because apache or nginx are much faster at serving static files than Rails proper would be. I take it, the usual way to add assets from a gem is to include a generator that copies (or links) these assets to the application's public directory.
