How does this work with the native packaging mechanism on your platform 
(RPM, ...)? Does it work "behind it's back" (which would be bad)? Let's 
assume that "rails" needs "foo" and "bar" as well, which are not yet on your 
box. Does "gem install" transitively get/update all dependecies of "rails"?
