GitHub would build from it. See http://gist.github.com/16215
Validates the project's gemspec from disk in an environment similar to how

def write_gemspec

Writes out the gemspec 
def write_gemspec
  Jeweler::Commands::WriteGemspec.build_for(self).run
end

def write_version(major, minor, patch, options = {})

Bumps the version, to the specific major/minor/patch version, writing out the appropriate version.rb, and then reloads it. 
def write_version(major, minor, patch, options = {})
  command = Jeweler::Commands::Version::Write.build_for(self)
