I guess we should bring this conversation back around to the heart of the
matter: what is it that you want to accomplish by listing all 22,000+ gems
on your local machine?

I mean, there are search engines devoted specifically to listing out gems
for you (http://www.gemcutter.org, http://www.rubydoc.info/) and giving you
some pertinent details about the gem itself (such as where to go for more
information).  There are resources to help you find the best gem for the
task at hand (http://ruby-toolbox.com/), and plenty of other places to find
out about gems.
