I tried that just before I mailed in and it didn't work :(

That gave me the same results as before, unfortunately. I'm a bit perplexed as the env variables are being passed through but the load path isn't updated and is still missing the one line I want. 


I don't seem to be able to find how the load path is built automatically, only stuff on how I can alter it after the fact, which won't help me in the long term.

Is there somewhere I can just add the path hardcoded? I don't really care about configurability, I'm not moving my gems anywhere else soon.
