This [1] manual Gem version parsing was just added to chef to handle
the addition of platforms to the version string in 1.3.7.  I had to
update GemInstaller in a similar fashion [2].  Two questions:

1. Are we doing it wrong? Does the RubyGems API provide a way to avoid
this manual parsing?
2. Should there be a --[no-]platforms option to the 'list' command,
which would have made these updates to the parsing logic unnecessary?

Thanks,
