Is it possible to search for all gems that rely on a certain rubygem?
For example, I'd like to ask for all gems in gemcutter that rely on the test-unit gem.
Background: I'm looking to see how other gems handle the issue mentioned here.

Bite the bullet, do it the BFI way.
Use gem fetch and then gem unpack to just d/l and extract them all. You don't have to install them, and then you can use ordinary CLI tools to get the list you want.

Searching for gems with test-unit- brings up a few gems with test-unit- dependencies:
gem search test-unit-
Also, you can search your local gems dependencies with my gem grep plugin
gem grep -f dependencies test-unit
In a future release I plan to support searching remote gem dependencies ...
