...you're only "sacrificing" bleeding-edge stuff that isn't quite  
ready for primetime yet ;-)  Seriously, it should be well known that  
compiling Gem from cvs head is going to have some rough edges,  
because that's where the focus of development is...in this case,  
these objects were only committed last week, and have already gone  
thru a few iterations, with a few more likely to go...they work, but  
only if you have the hardware and drivers to support  
them...conversely, they are extremely undocumented, too...

...besides, they aren't likely to be the place you would start  
learning to use Gem anyway...
