Now it install, but the platform thing is still bitching all over...:

This is limited to gems with WIN32 platform

use as reference: mongrel 1.1.1 (platform: mswin32). mongrel-1.1.1-mswin32.gem
gem install mongrel:
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
Successfully installed gem_plugin-0.2.3
Successfully installed cgi_multipart_eof_fix-2.5.0
Successfully installed mongrel-1.1.1-x86-mswin32
3 gems installed

This looks good, but notice the platform of mongrel: x86-mswin32

Now, irb:
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'mongrel'
LoadError: no such file to load -- mongrel
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
        from (irb):2

D:\Users\Luis>dir "C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems"
<DIR>          mongrel-1.1.1-x86-mswin32

If I manually rename the mongrel directory to "mongrel-1.1.1-mswin32"
it the require works.
Guess the installer isn't honoring the @original_platform?
