This is because config.gem is looking for a gem. It won't fall back and check for a plugin if it fails to find a gem. I think your best bet is to use a require statement. It'll check for the plugin and use that if it finds it. If not it will look for the gem.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I've not actually done this since I've only had one or the other in my apps.
