Hi Steve,

it breaks some custom code; no port is affected, I think. But if you run=20
*any* ruby dependent port polluted with PREFIX environment variable, and=20
that port requires some other gem, it will fails at the moment it=20
'requires' the gem, sure.  To diagnose and debug is very tricky, I=20
certify :P.
