Summary: gem prelude appears to prefer older versions of gems at times

Initial Comment:
Currently on doze, if I install the ffi gem with the following two version:


ffi-0.5.4-x86-mingw32

ffi-0.6.2 (from source)

gem prelude appears to "prefer" 0.5.4 even though it's older.

c:\dev_old\digitalarchive_trunk>gem search ffi

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

ffi (0.6.2, 0.6.0, 0.5.4)

c:\dev_old\digitalarchive_trunk>ruby -v  -rffi -e 'puts $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/ffi/)'
ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [i386-mingw32]
E:/installs/ruby191p376/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ffi-0.5.4-x86-mingw32/lib/1.9/ffi_c.so
E:/installs/ruby191p376/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ffi-0.5.4-x86-mingw32/lib/ffi/platform.rb

Thanks!
