At least one other person than me, apparently, since I didn't ask this
question originally.

I'm not really complaining, just asking.  And nobody has answered my
question yet.

It's not a problem with the way gem handles dependencies.  It's a
problem with hoe injecting itself as a dependency on any gem it creates.
And it's not really a problem, I just want to know why.  You're acting
like I'm insulting your sister, but I'm really just asking a question.
