Hm, I saw that patch somewehere, but it was probably incompatible with 
older RubyGems, therefore not applicable for Bundler. On the other hand, 
there is plenty RubyGems version specific hacks, so that might be 
another one.

I like this scenario, but who will do that? If you volunteer, then there 
is no problem :) But it means that you will become more or less Redmine 
developer.
