Camping-Omnibus Doesn't Work With Ruby v1.8.6

I've noticed that the copy of Mongrel installed by the camping-omnibus  
gem doesn't work with Ruby 1.8.6. Or to be more specific,  
cgi_multipart_eof_fix (which Mongrel is dependent upon) doesn't work:

> $ sudo gem install mongrel --source http://code.whytheluckystiff.net
>
> ERROR:  Error installing mongrel:
> 	cgi_multipart_eof_fix requires Ruby version <= 1.8.5

It looks like the copy of Mongrel mirrored on  
code.whytheluckystiff.net is v1.0.1. The latest public release is  
v1.1.4.

Working around this is easy (just download the component parts  
individually from gems.rubyforge.org), but it might scare away some  
newbies who are following the directions on the wiki. Time to update  
the Gems hosted on code.whytheluckystiff.net?

On a related note, how come camping-omnibus doesn't exist on  
gems.rubyforge.org?
