Hi Jeremy, I'm not sure you answered the OP's question (as I'm looking for the same answer). He wants to know, if he has a Gemfile within his gem/ engine how can he get the Rails app/Bundler to automatically load it's dependencies along with the Rails app's hardcoded dependencies. For example, if you create your own Rails 3 Engine gem called MyShop and MyShop has a dependency on ActiveMerchant, he wants to put that dependency in a Gemfile within MyShop and not within the Rails app itself. I agree with this (your Rails app shouldn't need to know what the dependencies are for the dependencies you have, Bundler should just take care of them) and I'm trying to do the same thing.
