I tried to force converting all legacy platforms, but found it was
too difficult due to the way that platforms are loaded. RubyGems is
smart enough to correctly uninstall a legacy platform gem. You can
access the legacy gem via Gem::Specification#original_platform.
I think this is ok, since Gem::Installer and Gem::Uninstaller take
care of the details for you.
