I have a few suggestions for the rubygems package manager

If you have to use require_gem to load your library, it aught to have a =
config option to download the most recent version automatically as your =
script is executing. That would make it 10x more useful to me.

There should also be a config option to create symbolic links (or =
shortcuts) to the most recently installed packages in the site_ruby =
directory when you install a gem, so that you can skip the require_gem =
and instead just require directly from site_ruby. Maybe the gems command =
can switch your default version around (replace the symlink). I would =
prefer to have that flexibility there also.
