Gem::Doctor

Cleans up after a partially-failed uninstall or for an invalid Gem::Specification.

If a specification was removed by hand this will remove any remaining files.

If a corrupt specification was installed this will clean up warnings by removing the bogus specification.

def initialize gem_repository, dry_run = false
  @gem_repository = Pathname(gem_repository)
  @dry_run        = dry_run
