We're encountering a problem in nokogiri builds. A bugfix version of the hoe plugin [`hoe-debugging` causes our build to break](https://github.com/tenderlove/nokogiri/pull/597). We can specify the development dependency version in the dev deps, but since [hoe just does a require on the dependency](https://github.com/seattlerb/hoe/blob/master/lib/hoe.rb#L265), the latest version is used (not the version requested in the dev deps).

I'd like it if the hoe could learn about plugins from the dev deps, or if we could specify a gem version when saying `Hoe.plugin`.
