An Uninstaller.
The uninstaller fires pre and post uninstall hooks.  Hooks can be added either through a rubygems_plugin.rb file in an installed gem or via a rubygems/defaults/#{RUBY_ENGINE}.rb or rubygems/defaults/operating_system.rb file.  See Gem.pre_uninstall and Gem.post_uninstall for details.
