It turns out that gems really suck for applications (i.e. things that
want to go in your bin dir of preference).

Ref: http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/20#default_executable

So I am currently not able to get Kwala or Saikuro to play well with
gems.  It creates a new wrapped bin app that breaks the real bin app.
RedNails will have a gem release.  I have some gemspec files for Kwala
and Saikuro I can release if you want to see what to do to get bin to
actually work properly.

All of them will also have a setup.rb style installation.

No ebuilds at the moment, but that would be really cool if you wrote
them!

Thanks,
Zev
