Summary: unable to use runtime dependencies in mkrf_conf.rb

Initial Comment:
Situation currently:

if you have the following in your mkrf_conf.rb file


require 'rubygems'
require 'some dependency gem'

and your gemspec lists "some dependency gem" as a runtime dependency, your gem will fail to install the first time, then install correctly when you attempt to install it a second time.  I would have expected runtime dependencies to be available at build time of the main gem.
Thanks!
