Dang. I forgot that evaling a platform gem's spec called #platform=, which would break the two gems with totally bizarre platforms like this one. I didn't bother attempting to support automatic installation for these two gems (POpen4 and rubywmq) and instead filed bugs against the projects pointing them at the correct platforms to use. (Of course, they still should install and work if they are already installed, but with the full name or something.) -- Poor workers blame their tools. Good workers build better tools.
