You can create your own implementation of StreamUI. and use that in
place of the default StreamUI in Gem::CommandManager. That may seem
"messy, but I believe this is the mechanism that was built into
rubygems for doing this, and it works pretty well - except for where
someone forgot to use it - see
http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=9020&group_id=126&atid=577
For an example of overriding StreamUI to intercept the IO streams,
check out geminstaller.rubyforge.org, and look at gem_runner_proxy,
and enhanced_stream_ui.
