Thanks for the heads up. The thing is, Ruby 1.9 includes json by default. I don't think I can add a gemspec dependency that targets a particular version of Ruby. In other words, Ruby 1.9 people would have an extra dependency that's not needed. The fact that's it's a c ext complicates things further. Let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree, but in the mean time I'm going to close it.

Ahh, touche`, 1.9 being a dependency makes my point moot. Thanks for the quick response!
