Sure.  I also wouldn't be surprised if there are issues with
Windows/DOS drive names, or in the difference between saying file:,
file://, and file:///... but it does seem to work in the use case of
file:/// on Unix.

Sure, just signed up for an account.  One question, though -- I kind
of made up the terms "installed-layout" and "server-layout" to
describe the

  gems/
    cache/
    gems/
    specifications/

and 

  yaml
  gems/

directory layouts.  Anybody have anything better?
