Thanks, that worked . . . as does using "-r ubygems", which is a nice "nroff
-man"ish touch.  And I see that the reason it worked on Windows is that it adds
"-rubygems" to $RUBYOPT, and children's mods to the environment affect their
parents in Windows, unlike in the Unixy world.

Is $RUBYOPT the best way to set things up so that rubygems is always
"prequire"d?
