Someone else was working on this but ran into an issue that I can't
recall. Something to do with image libraries I think.

Calling bundle install is probably not the way to go, for a number of
reasons. Take a look at how other rubygem- ports are built.

It's trying to call git to download what I guess is a fork of
delayed_job_data_mapper. There's a port for delayed_job_data_mapper
already I think. Fetching things from git respos without somehow
verifying them is something we avoid.
