This should probably be made to result in a LoadError. Thoughts?

I did a gem cleanup and since then I have been getting the following error whenever I try to use a gem

I had the same problem yesterday, when I upgraded all my gems. It turns out, this error occurs if you have one broken gem. My solution: Add a puts statement inside gem_path_searcher.rb to find out what gem is broken. Then uninstall it. (For me it was the latest mojombo-grit).

A better solution would be to patch Rubygems so it doesn't choke just because you have a broken gem - or at least tell you which one it is.
