Summary: gem install failing because of permission errors
Initial Comment:
1.3.6 seems to have broken the ability to install gems in your home directory...
matt$ gem install treetop
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions into the /usr/bin directory.
with 1.3.5 and earlier, this command would result in text saying something like
"installed in ~/.gem because /usr/bin/ not writable" and a successfull install.

Message:
--user-install was disabled by default in 1.3.6, but failed to make it into the
release notes. You can enable it for yourself via ~/.gemrc, see
http://rubygems.rubyforge.org/rubygems-update/Gem/ConfigFile.html

Message:
Explicitly setting $GEM_HOME to /Users/matt/.gem/ruby/1.8 causes 1.3.6's
`gem install` to install gems without complaint.
