Not that I know of, but there's been quite a bit of discussion of late
on the rubygems list on getting gem to recognize different platforms
and do away with the need to select mswin vs. ruby vs. new platforms
like jruby.

It seems to have the attention of the gems developers.  I for one will
welcome this when they implement it.
