Title: Gem fixes

Fix some problems with the Gem. Today, the gemspec doesn't include itself in the manifest, which causes problems. The gemspec is also calling `git` directly, which is slow, doesn't actually work when installed as a Gem, and I think is generally ugly.

With this patch, running `bundle exec rake build` or `rake release` will cause the gemspec to be updated with today's date and the proper list of files. I haven't touched how the version is specified.

I think most of us have been pointing our app Gemfiles at a git repo or checkout, and haven't noticed the Gem being a bit messed up.
