Subject: RubyGems question: Knowing the correct name for add_dependency

I'm trying to write a gemspec file.  My code depends on Austin Ziegler's 
Mime::Types library.  I want to call to add_dependency, but I do not 
know what to pass as the first argument.

In my code, I call

require 'mime/types'

So, in my gemspec file, would it be

   add_dependency( 'mime/types', "> 1.12" )

Or do need to use a more abstract package name:

   add_dependency( 'MIME::Types', "> 1.12" )

or maybe

   add_dependency( 'mime-types', "> 1.12" )

There's a gem for the MIME::Types lib; can one use add_dependency even 
when there is no gem for the dependency?

In general, how does one know how to refer to the dependency?

Thanks!

James
