Gems has two installers, a local gems installer and a remote gems installer.
The remote installer will download dependencies, the local installer does
not.

This is the next big item fix on my todo list for RubyGems: the merging of
the two installers into a single installer that can fetch locally or
remotely (from more than one remote source ... another limitation of the
current remote installer).

Yep. That's basically it.
