I'll look into that. I know we have tests for this functionality that
pass on Windows...

The Maven logic is built into our copy of RubyGems directly; it knows
if it sees anything prefixed with "mvn:" it uses Maven to source the
contents of that gem, rather than looking on rubygems.org.

How would you recommend people grab the required libraries? Like I
said in other posts, I can certainly recommend that they start
wrapping and pushing those libraries to rubygems.org, but I don't
think anyone wants rubygems.org bloated up with thousands of jar
files.

These *are* gems...we just build them dynamically by sourcing the
contents from Maven.
