Hmm, I think that I might have to disagree with you on the --verbose
option. While useful to some, I do not believe it is a good default option. You
lose sight of the bigger picture when using --verbose.

Also, you failed to mention in the subject, or body, that this patch sets the
binary directory with the -n option. Putting _all_ ruby gem scripts in /usr/bin
is questionable, IMHO; however, since gem's default binary directory is /usr/bin
and is unchanged in Arch, I will add the -n option. Not to mention, I see this
is being done anyway in github-gem and this option is a much saner way of doing
that.

Thanks,
matt
