Summary: Gem::Specification#validate fails if homepage is unspecified

Initial Comment:
rubygems/specification.rb:886:
    unless homepage.empty? or homepage =~ /\A[a-z][a-z\d+.-]*:/i then

The above line fails with
  undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass
if homepage is nil, and the helpful "no #{attribute} specified" warning a few 
lines later is never reached.

Perhaps someone assumed that everyone has #empty? defined on NilClass?  I 
worked around this problem (and identified my missing homepage setting) by 
doing just that in my Rakefile.

Thank you for an otherwise wonderful thing!
Mike
