Primarily it's still setting up the whole RUBYOPT thing. Not that its
hard per se, just that one has to do it. But also I had to 'gem install
rubygems-update' even though I had installed a very recent verion of
RubyGems. I assume the whole RUBYOPT thing (vs. stubs) arises from
versioning. I'm surprised that there is no other way to do this.
