No need.  Windows has had an equivalent to MacOS's 'open' since
Windows 95, I believe:

	url = 'http://Ruby-Lang.Org/'
	`start #{url}`
	
'start' will launch whatever application is registered to handle the
filetype (if the parameter is a file) or protocol (if the parameter is
a URI) in question -- in my case Opera.

So, just setting 

	Launchy::Spawnable::Browser::APP_LIST[:windows] = ['start']

*should* work, but, unfortunately, Launchy doesn't work for me at all,
so I can neither confirm nor deny that.
