I have Ruby and RubyGems installed both in Windows using the "One-
Click" installer, and in Cygwin. At the DOS prompt, I have to type
"gem update --system" to update the Windows RubyGems. But in Cygwin,
RubyGems will update itself if I just do "gem update", without
specifying the --system flag. Has anyone else seen this?
