Subject: [ruby-core:19697] Different gem flavors for 1.8 and 1.9

I'm updating my SqlStatement gem http://sqlstatement.rubyforge.org/ to be 
compatible with Ruby 1.9, and owing to totally different ways of doing s-
expressions in Ruby 1.8 (which required RubyNode) and 1.9 (which can trap 
the not and != operators as methods, so I can use the interpreter itself 
to generate everything I need in an s-expression), the Ruby 1.9 version 
no longer requires a dependency on RubyNode. In fact, RubyNode doesn't 
exist for 1.9 AFAICT.

Is there a way to reate a Ruby 1.8 flavor of the gem and another Ruby 1.9 
flavor. I'd like the gems to have the same name and live side-by side on 
RubyForge. It doesn't look the RubyGem metadata is flexible enough for 
this.
