It's stable, it runs and i think even the tests are passing. This
tarball is made directly from the svn repo, and the ruby version in
the repo is 1.8.8 since 1.8.7 was released already (that's also why it
says 'dev').

rubygems/version.rb doesn't allow anything but \d and \. in the
version string, so i guess this version would confuse it
Don't expect any libraries to work with a yet unreleased ruby version
if you don't want to get down, read and understand their code and get
tweaking.

This is new behavior in the 1.8 branch, so RubyGems wasn't equipped to deal with it until last week, when I checked a fix into trunk.
