My install of Merb RC2 failed to start a simple merb application.  The
error reported was a failure to load merb-action-args >= 0.9.10.  That
seemed like an odd error for an RC release, so I figured something was
broken on my system.  Long story short, I had an older version of hoe
installed (1.7.0), and merb-action-args depends on 1.8.0 or greater.

Shouldn't the install of the merb-action-args gem depend on the
version of hoe that it needs?  This might be a failure of gem
dependencies (I am not that familiar with the design of gemspecs).

It would be nice if a failure to load a dependency gave a more helpful
error message than the one that I got.  The error I got implied that
merb-action-args >= 0.9.10 wasn't installed, but it clearly was.  It
would be nice to get a better error message when a gem fails to load
(as opposed to when a gem isn't found).  This is probably trickier
than it sounds.

Nice work so far ... I'm looking forward to more merbing :).
