Where "-rXYZ" means: "Please ruby, load the library XYZ first please, 
before loading the actual program". And as can be seen above, ruby does 
actually find a file/library named "ubygems" at
"C:/Program Files/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ubygems.rb" which doesn't 
make any sense to me because (AFAIK) there doesn't exist and library named 
"ubygems" unless Jorge did something strange and placed something there.

Or am I misstaken?
