Making config.gem in Rails 2.3.x allow you to install from a direct url or the local filesystem
If you are on Rails 2.3.x (pre-Bundler) and want to organize some of your shared functionality into gems, but they are for internal use only, you could set-up a private gem server and point the :source at this server. And then you could deal with authentication, and then...
Or as a quick hack you could just allow for config.gem to reference the gemfile directly, which would then mean 'rake gems:install' would work, even if the gem were stored locally, or on a file-server, etc. Also useful as you could then just point at a .gem file on github.
