Hi Dominik

I posted the diff to pastie here:

http://pastie.caboo.se/155179

I was finally able to get it to install, though I had to switch to
root user, set the env var, then do 'gem install'...which installed
into the macports rubygem context like I wanted.  I couldn't figure
out a way to set the required env var _and_ run gem install via sudo
only.
