update gem on ruby gems?

[anthonysomerset]

is there any chance to get the rubygems gem updated to the current version in source? had to manually build the gem myself to get the updated stuff that works better, rubygems still seems to have 0.2.1

i kind of got bored of waiting and frustrated at having to manually install the built from source gem on each machine, so ended up forking this into a new project and pulled in @johnf's updates and repushed as finger-puppet: https://github.com/anthonysomerset/Finger-Puppet

i'm not looking to step on toes here but would much rather see it developed within rump so would be happy to remove if and when rump sees some TLC and updated gems
