While working on a integrated gembundles implementation. I figured out
a much better approach. Rather than have a separate gembundle format,
the standard gem can just have a third part. Ex. in some.gem:
metadata.gz
data.tar.gz
bundle/
other.gem
...
The other gems are determined by the dependencies of the gemspec. That
way one can create totally new gembundles, or create one out of a
pre-existing gemspec just as easily. When installing, I think gems
would only need to copy the bundled gems to the rubygems cache first
then proceed normally.
