Ruby's LOAD_PATH is a combination of a set of default directories
determined when Ruby is configured/installed, the directories (if any)
defined by the $RUBYLIB environment variable, and any directories
specified by -I options on the Ruby command line. It has nothing to do
with any $LOAD_PATH environment variable.
