Amen. I second this!

Now, eventmachine is killing gem update. I'm getting a compile error. 
(Granted this could just be a bug in the eventmachine code, but 
still...)

em.cpp
em.cpp(1193) : error C2374: 'i' : redefinition; multiple initialization
        em.cpp(1186) : see declaration of 'i'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
