Application plugins

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.
