True, but Buildr doesn't have *that* many gem dependencies with native components (isn't RJB the only one). There's plenty of very useful gems out there which are more tightly coupled to the architecture (I'm pretty sure parsetree is among them, though the fact that it's just using Ruby's internal libs might save it).
