Yes, This part is still a little bit ugly koz rubinius provide
pre-installed gems and they should be installed in location different
from /var/lib/gems in order to not be owerwritten by gem command.

Probably right way is to move preinstalled gems to /usr/lib/rubinius and
use /var/lib/gems for gems installed via rubygems. But this requires
some hacking on rubinius side.

What do You think?
