We would like to include RubyGems 0.8.11 pre-installed in the next release of JRuby. However, there are a few issues with doing that we need to resolve:

1. The scripts RubyGems installs reference 'ruby' directly in their #! line. This requires us to call "jruby bin/gem" to invoke them

We could possibly fix this by modifying the scripts to use JRuby, either in the #! line or by making them shell/batch scripts. However...

2. Any modifications we make to the scripts would be blown away running a gemupdate

I don't know a way around this one, if we intend to ship our own modified invocation scripts, and there's also...

3. RubyGems does not install any invokable scripts/files for Windows platforms when running under JRuby

We need gem.bat, etc, in some form to allow them to be called on Windows.

Suggestions are welcome.
