The fact that it borked on celsoft.com/template (the cstemplate
package) indicates that it's trying to build the extra documentation
(not that it says so explicitly).

The cstemplate gem has a problem: it comes packaged with a binary,
even though it's meant to be a source gem.  I'm working on that.  It
seems the cstemplate RPA has a problem of some kind as well, at least
on Cygwin.
