I replaced the giant setup.rb with a small one we can easily debug.
It seems to fix all the issues people have been having.
Please test it out on windows, I do not have one of those set up for
development.
It also comes with --no-rdoc and --no-ri, and the gem updater has
been hooked into those options (and --prefix). I still need to set
up and test updating through `gem update --system`, its a bit more work.
What's not well-documented is the difference between --prefix and
GEM_HOME, defining both to be the same is certainly not what people
want. (This is true with all versions of RubyGems.)
