Summary: Problems with gems (treetop, polyglot, test-unit) installed in $HOME/.gem instead of /usr/local/...

Initial Comment:
I filed it initially as a bug in Lighthouse (cucumber):

https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/16211-cucumber/tickets/445-patch-cucumber-cannot-find-treetop-if-all-gems-are-in-homegem#ticket-445-4

It seems like adding:

    gem 'foo-bar'

fixes things for some gems, others need:

    Gem.activate('foo-bar')

The Lighthouse ticket has a specific, detailed example in cucumber.

Message:
Workaround - add a version requirement, e.g.:

gem 'foo-bar', '>=0'

Message:
Just to make sure, I tried trunk (r2296), but it wouldn't
let me even install gems in $HOME, even with --user-install
(exception with Requirement being Nil in <=>() ). Maybe I'll
submit a bug tomorrow.
