Issue #1309 has been updated by Charlie Savage. Two reasons. First is philosophical. Using "sitearch" seems more apppriate than "RUBY_SO_NAME" - that is the point of sitearch isn't it? Second is practical. I continue to hope that I'll be able to convince ruby core that the shared library name on windows should be ruby19.dll (I'll be sending another email soon :). Therefore RUBY_SO_NAME will no longer work for this.
