Summary: Gem.default_bindir is hardcoded on Mac

Initial Comment:
The following code in defaults.rb means `gem --bindir /foo/bin` won't work on 
OS X:

  def self.default_bindir
    if defined? RUBY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION then # mac framework support
      '/usr/bin'
    else # generic install
      ConfigMap[:bindir]
    end
  end

It also means setting: `gem: --bindir /foo/bin` in .gemrc doesn't work.

Message:
This is only the default (thus the name "default_bindir").  The override works 
fine for me.

$ gem install rake -i ~/tmp/gems --no-rdoc --no-ri -n ~/tmp/bin
Successfully installed rake-0.8.7
