Summary: gem install --test fails when using a custom --install-dir

Initial Comment:
gem install --test some.gem
and
gem install --install-dir /tmp/foo some.gem

both work, but combining the options such as

gem install --test --install-dir /tmp/foo some.gem

fails when trying to load the gem.

The workaround for the bug:

export GEM_HOME=/tmp/foo && gem check --test some

should illustrate the problem. The install command simply does not add the new gem's dir to the list of gemdirs before trying to load it.

Message:
The --test feature is scheduled to be removed in a future version of RubyGems, so I will not be fixing this.  Sorry :(
