Subject: Installing a gem locally (RubyForge.org unreachable)

I'm trying to get a coworker set up, and rubygems isn't working,
because rubyforge.org is down[1].

I have the .gem file on my machine. How can I tell rubygems "Hey, the
gem is sitting right here in this very directory! Install from this!"?
