Actually, Jim is going to create a new Rake gem that uses the new 
RubyGems functionality for creating application gems.  Once he creates 
that, you should be able to install Rake (including the rake 
executable) very easily.  The functionality is new as of today, so he 
hasn't yet provided a rake gem that does it.
