I just unofficially released my new ri_cal gem to github, then signed

My gem needs TZInfo, but it's carefully crafted to use either the
implementation in the tzinfo gem OR the one provided by activesupport
since Rails 2.2. I don't want to dictate which one gets used, and as
far as I can see there's no way to put an either/or dependency in the
gemspec.
Everything works except that since the dependency on tzinfo isn't
declared, runcode run doesn't load it and fails.
I've brought this up on the runcoderun support site, but I was
wondering if this is something that rubygems should think about
addressing.
Or maybe I'm missing something and there already is a way to do this.
This has been a long-standing feature request, but nobody's been
interested enough in actually implementing it.
This Could Be You!!!
PS: In my opinion, Rails bundling libraries doesn't help matters, they
should depend on a specific version of tzinfo and be done with it.
