Bug 974632

explicitly on all cartridges.

Subsequently, the Ruby 1.9 cartridge need not create ~/.gem.
Bug 974983

Set up $PATH so that executables installed by a gem can be found.
Resurrect file permissions tests that existed for v1 PHP cartridge

The tests now includes `~/.gem`, which is created for all cartridges.
