Dear Stian,

I have managed to make a binary created from tar2rubyscript/rubyscript2exe
that runs on another computer, provided that it uses the same
live Linux distribution ... so maybe , if you're developing
essentially for demonstrative purposes ( program sth. for an
academic thesis etc...), you can distribute a Live Linux distribution
alongside your application on a CD...
I know that's not a mass-market solution yet :(
I will try what I can do for Windows next week.

Actually, I sometimes think the response frequency distribution to
individual threads on this list has changed somewhat to the worse:
say, a year or more ago, my impression is that generally, 
the average number of answers to a request used to be smaller,
but many experienced users tried to contribute a lot of information
per post.
Now the number of posts has dramatically increased for some threads,
but there many people just agreeing or disagreeing on some tangential
aspect, whereas many threads get drowned - and unanswered - in a hundred 
responses to these big threads (sigh).

Best regards,

Axel
