One additional note:

I think this problem will only get worse over time and I don't have a good 
solution. In particular, I think GEM_HOME should die and we should only use 
GEM_PATH (where we only write into the first entry). I think that GEM_PATH 
should implicitly tack on something like isolate's multiruby suffix:

        suffix = "#{Gem.ruby_engine}-#{RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_version']}"

tho, it may be better to do something like 1.9's compatibility version instead.
