[Ironruby-core] require ''spec'' not working

Actually I don''t want to use gems installed by ruby.. that
doesn''t make
sense to me.  I will install duplicates if I need it.  I actually want the
default behavior :)

I was replying to the question of Michael Delaney on how he couldn''t
get the
rspec gem to run  :)  And because he was setting GEM_PATH I tried to explain
that he doesn''t need to do that anymore. And then showed how it just
works
for me without setting a gem_path or anything.

It seems that there is confusion on how people need to use gems with
ironruby, because of earlier blog posts when you needed to use the gems from
ruby. There is also a wiki on github for a gem that explains it to do it
that way.

Also if I wanted to use a non-standard layout for my dirs it would make
sense to me to have to set GEM_PATH or IGEM_PATH.
