What about Nick's suggestion: a single gem that installs everything you
need for some purpose? Something like 'gem install jruby-on-rails' and
you get the whole shebang, plus some utility scripts to make it easier.

Many users will just want to to something simple and fast to get
going. Providing a gem which installs all the fun loving Rails stuff
sounds like a great idea to me (and I think I was also talking to
Morten about this at Rails conf too?). This is not as odds with
having a lean core either:
1. download jruby (the lean/lithe distro)
2. gem install rails-fun-time
Not too rough...a reasonable compromise of concerns.
