must use ":lib => 'web_app_theme'" when using config.gem

[george.anderson]

If you're using the "config.gem" gem dependency method:

config.gem "web-app-theme", :lib => "web_app_theme", :version =>
'0.5.0', :source => "http://gemcutter.org"

you MUST include the ":lib => 'web_app_theme'" bit. Otherwise you'll
see something like this:

no such file to load -- web-app-theme

It's a bit confusing if you've already installed the gem. But rails
is looking for lib/web-app-theme.rb in the gem source, which doesn't
exist. Using ":lib => 'web_app_theme'" tells rails to look for lib/
web_app_theme.rb, which exists.

I think we don't need to add web-app-theme as a dependency, since is
not used at runtime from rails, but only as generator during
development.
If installed as gem, generators are visible from all rails
project..what do you think?

Yes, good point. I suppose I should have provided some context: I'm
working on a small side project that I expect to share with others. I
want them to be able to re-theme the app at will, but don't want the
overhead of vendoring the gem.

Thanks,

Understood, so it's better to add this in the README file, it's very
useful. Feel free to write what you want and send me a pull request on
github ;)
