Is it so bad to have all the features in one command? Personally, I'd 
rather have one uber-command, than several "lighter" commands that I had 
to remember. It's nicer just to say "gem --help" and see all the things 
I can do, than to have to say:

   $ gem --help
   ...
   $ # hmmm, nothing there, maybe...
   $ gemx --help
   ...
   $ # ah, yes, there it is
   $ gemx --update-dist

Know what I mean?
