Subject: RubyGems feature request

RubyGems is neato. Thanks to the team for such a wonderful Ruby tool.

Here's my feature request: I want to be able to clean up old versions of 
RubyGems. Specifically, I want to be able to delete all old versions (all but 
the most highest version on my machine) of all gems, or all old versions of a 
specific gem. I know I can use

	gem uninstall --version '< 3.0.0' RedCloth

but that assumes that I go to the gems directory, see which versions of 
RedCloth are installed, and type the highest version number. I'm thinking of 
something like

	gem cleanup

or

	gem uninstall --all-but-latest

Thanks for listening.

Jim
