The gem identification thing is the next big item ticket on my plate.  I 
want to get the JRuby .jar thing settled first, then I'm off to look at 
the platform issue.

I would suggest not adding stopgap measures for now.  I don't think it 
will take that much to do the right thing.

I'll have to dig up my notes on this and post on this soon.
