Thanks for the explanation Rob. Being a .Net and Ruby user, it makes
sense (to me) to mix the tools. I already use Rake for my CI build in
many projects.
Have you considered hosting the gems on github? At least the user
would have to add that to their gem sources manually.
You may be familiar with the Gemsets feature of RVM on MAC/Unix/Linux
(
http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/gemsets/basics/) however the tool isn't
available on Windows. This may be a useful feature to hoist into a
Windows/.Net equivalent. For instance, a dev may want to switch
between prerelease and release versions of (.net gems), and set a
default gemset.
