Installing eventmachine as suggested

gem install eventmachine

brings in, at the time of this writing, v0.12.10, uploaded October 24, 2009. There's been _significant_ work done to EM in that time. Is there a decent reason no new release has been made?

The only going answer for [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8998097/how-do-i-close-eventmachine-systems-side-of-an-stdin-pipe/9013954#9013954) suggests that using master will fix the problem. But which commit? Gems that rely on EM can't depend on a git version anyway--correct me if I'm wrong--and are stuck with v0.12.0. Hence this [fun bit of business](https://github.com/blt/traut/blob/master/lib/traut/spawn.rb#L21) in my [traut](https://github.com/blt/traut).
