[Rubygems-developers] ri generation patch for Rubygems

[Eric Hodel]

This is part of a rather interesting discovery I made while poking  
through the RDoc sources.  The following bit of code will allow ri to  
pick up documentation from gems:

begin
   require 'rubygems'
   Dir["#{Gem.path}/gems/*/ri"].each do |path|
     RI::Paths::PATH << path
   end
rescue LoadError
end

So the attached patch will cause gems with RDoc to also generate ri  
data.  It seems that there's a bunch of methods in doc_manager that  
didn't get called anymore, and I cleaned it up to make it much more  
explicit.

So now I can do things like:

$ ri MogileFS::MogileFS#delete
---------------------------------------------- MogileFS::MogileFS#delete
      delete(key)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Removes +key+.
