Bug #4485: Gem.bin_path('rake') does not return the path of the system-installed rake

Please see subject. You can see this evident in rubygems-test version 0.3.8 and lower, where bin_path is used to retrieve the rake path. In systems where a suffix is appended to the ruby version (e.g., ruby19/rake19/gem19), you will see that it is unable to locate the path via bin_path.

• File rbinstall.rb.gem_executables.diff rbinstall.rb.gem_executables.diff added

The attached patch adds executables to the stub gemspecs and installs a copy of bin/rake into the gem directory.

Can I have it reviewed?

Nobu, please review Eric's patch soon. We don't have much time.

It seems a half of the path is unconcerned in this issue but
just renaming of a local variable, right?

In the last part, it could be simply:

execs = execs.map {|exec| File.join(srcdir, 'bin', exec)}
install(execs, bin_dir, :mode => $prog_mode)

Totally, it seems nice.

The install of tool/rbinstall.rb only allows one source item per call so I couldn't take full advantage of your suggestion.
