Coming from Ruby land and having used other languages before, I feel
rubygems is quiet a good solution to this problem. Having something like
this in Clojure would be terrific for a person like me who is just starting
up.

It is not. It can be both online or offline. If the libraries are not
present locally it will try to download them from the central repo.
"gem install hpricot" in ruby will download hpricot library and it's
dependencies from a remote repo. and install them.
You may also optionally provide the version number by saying "gem install
hpricot -v 1.1.5" and it will download and install version number 1.1.5
instead of the latest one.

Rubygems cannot however download/install non-ruby libraries.
