I repeat: "…the RubyGems developers have never been unwilling to take patches that make them better citizens." Code talks. Provide a patch and I'm sure they'll take it, because it's a good step forward. If you do make such a patch, you'll need to consider what should happen if the user is running "gem install" without appropriate privileges or if the user is running on a system where there's no bin/ or sbin/ differentiation (e.g., Windows).
