Summary: Computed hash in dependency.rb and specification.rb is sometimes too
large.
Initial Comment:
The current hash algorithm in dependency.rb (line 138) and specification.rb
(line 658) can sometimes create a hash that is too large. In particular, this
is causing problems in IronRuby gems, but this is also possible in MRI.
Suggested fixes are:

Message:
Not sure how when rb_hash is used, but Array#hash in MRI can
misbehave too if one of the array elements returns a large
hash value:
class C
def hash
100000000000000000000
end
end
[C.new].hash # => in `hash': bignum too big to convert into
`long' (RangeError)
REXML has a similar issue. http://redmine.ruby-
lang.org/issues/show/1883 tracks the issue, and MRI will be
fixing the issue.

Message:
It's not too large, see rb_hash(). IronRuby should be casting the value down
to something it can accept.
