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.
