Summary: rake creates ruby wrappers around non-ruby executables, causing them 
to fail

Initial Comment:
when providing executables with a gem, they get wrapped in a ruby wrapper that 
provides some support for using previous versions of a gem. If the executable 
is not a ruby file (e.g., a bash script, php, etc..) then the wrapper will fail.

Suggestions:
1. allow the gemspec to force the gem to be installed with '--no-wrapper' and 
leave it to the developer to properly wrap executables.
2. check the shebang line of the executable and skip wrapping for anything that 
explicitly uses something other than ruby
