I did try searching before posting, the "Putting your shoes on faster"
subject probably threw me :-)
A rails-esque Vendor plugins directory would be great for me. I shall
try what Seth suggested tomorrow and also read through the thread by
Daniel Zepeda. Personally I love that Shoes can automatically download
the required gems, but in this instance the HTTP_PROXY requirement is
going to be a stumbling block for me.
Many thanks all,
Si

So, I wondered, as an alternative, if it would be possible for the

to "Include required gems with app" along the lines of the "Include

However, I think platform specific gems might cause a problem here?
This came up a week ago in this thread:

I think the way I'll do it is to download all of the gems for a
specific version and package those up with the app. So
html-scraper.shy will include all the different platform gems.
Before launch, it'll treat the collection of gems as a local
repository.
In the case of an EXE, it'll probably only include the gem for that
platform, unless the user indicates otherwise. (And same for OS X
and Linux packages.)
