I would like the opposite to be the default.
I keep all my different ruby installations separate -- I have different lib,
bin, and gem repo paths for 1.8.6, 1.9. rbx, and jruby. I don't see how a
single gem repository can work when gems that require native code and
connections to ruby VM libraries are combined.
-- background on my setup --
I don't want different names for the same command -- but I do want an simple
way to run a bin/ command from any of the installed ruby vms. Using the -S
parameter works for MRI 1.8.6 and jruby, partially in ruby 1.9 (works for gem
and not for rake) but not for rubinius:
This is my default Ruby install. It's the MRI 1.8.6 that comes with MacOS
10.5.2. This is the only Ruby VM that uses ruby scripts stored in a standard
system bin/ dir.

Paths to jruby and ruby 1.9 bin/ directories are added to the end of PATH and I
renamed the ruby shell script in ruby 1.9's bin/ dir to ruby19.

I installed rubinius source into rubinius/code and installed it into
rubinius/install.
cd ~/dev/rubinius
git clone git://github.com/evanphx/rubinius.git code
cd ~/dev/rubinius/code
rake clean:all
PREFIX=/Users/stephen/dev/rubinius/install rake build
PREFIX=/Users/stephen/dev/rubinius/install rake install
But since Rubinius doesn't have the equivalent of '-S' I need to supply the
full path to the gem.rb command.
