I took a look at the bug report.

1) Regarding the dependency on rake, this is needed in order for the  
Mr Bones gems to install properly on ruby 1.8.* systems.

2) Regarding openssl, this is used by the SMTP/TLS security layer to  
communicate with gmail when sending out announcements of new releases.

I can make the second conditionally available -- it won't try to load  
the SMTP/TLS code unless the OpenSSL libraries are present. However,  
the rake dependency does need to remain.

Thanks for the bug report.

Blessings,
