Consider putting your own libraries in:

RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.x   (if version specific)
RUBY/lib/ruby/site_ruby       (general utilities)

They're not just for other people's packages.

If your library is in the "current directory", Ruby would find it there, too.

There's the -I'C:/mylib' command line option.

Or $LOAD_PATH << 'C:/mylib' before "require".

Someone may even answer the question you asked :-)
