Hi, I have a test scenario where I have two test gems installed - they have an identical platform and version, but different platforms (one 'ruby', one 'mswin32'). This is on a mac.
The problem is that I can't see how to make SourceIndex#search select based on platform - it only seems to search based on name and version. Given the gems described above, there's no way to specifically ask if the ruby or mswin32 gem is installed. In other words, there's no way to pass a Gem::Dependency that will select a specific platform. You can pass the platform_only flag, but that's not what I want - I want to select a specific platform that is not the current platform. Is this the intended behavior? I know this is an edge case. In normal usage, you wouldn't install a gem that doesn't match your platform, but I think it's probably pretty common for people that build multiplatform gems - you want to do a test install just to test it out, not necessarily use it. This could be fixed if there was a platform property added to Dependency. Or maybe make the #search platform_only param be an actual Platform object (defaulting to current platform) instead of just a current-platform-or-not flag.
