[GRASS-dev] GRASS GEM and Ruby GEM name collision

Hi folks,

I just was browsing Gentoo bugzilla and found, that there is name
collision between GRASS and Ruby Gems - both use "gem" as executable
name. [1]

As GEM is not yet very popular, could we just rename GEM executable to
i.e. "grassgem" or something more specific? Or any other ideas how to
fix name collision, as just using different install path (--prefix) is
not a solution.

WBR,
Maris.
