There are surely bugs in macruby/rubygems, I just managed to be able  
to install / uninstall simple gems and also do some remote searching.   
I was probably too much enthusiastic while writing my first message, I  
will correct this :)

Please do not hesitate to file bugs.  Also, I noticed that rdoc is  
broken.

Yes, I will synchronize with the rubygems in 1.9 trunk.
