Sorry, Hugh.  I think that was a simple miss on our part.

Though, now that I went to add it, it seems like the first line  
_should_ return if @spec.has_rdoc == false and the rdoc flag wasn't  
passed on the command line.  That would
give the gem author the ability to control default behavior and the  
end user the ability to override it.  What do you think?
