I am the author of the application in question.  I tested your 
suggestion by doing a

>> puts GemConstName::Version::STRING

to see if it would have the variable defined by the gem system as 
defined in my gemspec, but it didn't work.  Is there something I need to 
do to make this work?

Thanks for your help!
