The windows version has a precompiled binary for installing on windows 
without hassle.  The Ruby version contains C code that must be compiled 
as part of the installation.  The Ruby version can be installed on any 
platform, but will require a compile environment.  Generally not a 
problem on most unix based systems, but most Windows system don't have 
the compiler available.
