I tried to get Rails to work with zozo for a few hours and gave up. 
Rails is pretty tied to rubygems, at least in 2.3.x.  It may be easier 
on Rails 3, but I haven't tried.

That's correct.  My recommendation is that whenever the gems change, "rm 
-r lib bin" (or any custom lib and bin directory names), and then 
regenerate them with zozo.
