When creating a new gemspec/gemfile skeleton with Bundler (my preferred way of creating those files), it drops these two lines in your gemspec

```ruby
lib = File.expand_path('../lib', __FILE__)
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(lib) unless $LOAD_PATH.include?(lib)
```

Maybe I'll just update our gemspec to match the Bundler created gemspec. They must be good conventions, right?
