Excellent work Eloy, I look forward to using it :-) You should
definitely write in the README file how to manually produce the µ
character though :-)
As an aside, Patrick Thomson, our new Core OS intern, started to work
on the new IO subsystem, which should theoretically fix the IO
problems that RubyGems is affected by when trying to download and
install gems.

Hi,
As most people know installing gems on MacRuby still fails for most
gems.
I was getting so annoyed looking through the source of RubyGems
that I decided to write a clean room implementation of it.
For now it only does installing, but was the only goal since that's
what fails on MacRuby.
It might try to do more to replace RubyGems in the future,
discussion/patches are all welcome.
For instance, I'm gonna use it do gem vendoring in Rucola.
Anyways, to the real interesting part of this mail :-)
I was actually gonna wait with a first release until MicroGem was
able to bootstrap itself
and install, but I haven't had time for that yet. So for now follow
these instructions:
Get source:
$ git clone git://github.com/alloy/microgem.git
$ cd microgem
Install the remote gem:
$ sudo env PRODUCTION=true macruby ./bin/µgem install alloy-
microgem --simple --debug
Then to install a gem:
$ sudo macµgem install mocha --simple
For more information see: http://github.com/alloy/microgem/tree/master
Looking forward to reactions.
Cheers,
Eloy
