Mail library in ruby

Perhaps a solution with a local gem server running from a USB pen drive?
Would this be possible?

How huge (size) is all gems from rubygem?
How huge would be a (local) server with only the most common gems?

The brisk version is building and installing ruby, install whichever gems you need, and compressing and sharing the Ruby directory tree.

Some gems require compilation and can not be simply "shared" across systems, unless the systems have the same ABI and architecture. Even then, if the gems depend on external libraries, different versions of those libraries could cause strange and hard to debug problems, if they work at all.
