Very nice, I've made a similar script, but it doesn't respect that naming convention and ignores dependencies, thanks a lot! My script can be found at http://p.ramaze.net/19811 - but I'll go through your library and see what we can improve. Rubyforge keeps track of the license, so for gems hosted there we might be able to query that. -- ^ manveru
