[sup-talk] rake/hoe issues

Seems like Redwood::VERSION being set to 'svn' isn't meeting some kind
of hoe version spec, so rake tasks are failing.

# rake gem
rake aborted!
Malformed version number string svn



Whenever I try to build sup from svn, the rakefile seems to be using sup
from my local gems repository rather than ./lib (within the build
directory). Since I had already installed a previous dev version, I had
to go edit the installed gem's lib/sup.rb Redwood::VERSION before the
new gem would build.

It seems strange to me that I must have sup installed as a gem before I
can build the svn version.
