There is a small manual step required when installing as a gem.  See the 
  instructions at http://rake.rubyforge.org (the Gem Installation section).

Once installed, you just invoke it by typing "rake target" to build a 
target, or just "rake" to build the default target (assumes you have a 
Rakefile :-)

Is the application installation portion of RubyGems working yet?  I can 
make a new Gem of Rake to take advantage of that when it is ready.
