1. Presumably the gems stuff stored somewhere the list of all installed 
gems. Thus you know where to find gem documentation.

2. Write a wrapper "rig" which invokes 'ri' with the appropriate -d 
option if you're getting the documentation for a gem.

       rig --gem rexml --version 3.4  <args>

   =>   ri -d /usr/local/gems/rexml/3.4/ri/..    <args>

3. Bask in the glory

4. If, after a while, this is clearly the way to go, I'll fold it all 
into ri/rdoc.
