Hello, list.

I've taken the liberty to submit a new RubyForge project: The Ruby 
Widnows Distribution.

Why?
Because there is no easy installable "plain" Ruby package for Windows.

While it is similar to the Ruby One Click Installer, it differs widely 
in scope: It will only include RubyGems (for now), to provide a "clean 
slate" Ruby distribution.

I don't really need the One-Click Installer anymore, and while it 
provides a great starting point and all in one package, it provides more 
stuff than I need, I think that others are in a similar position.

Also, the Ruby distribution on garbagecollect[0] is missing some (two, 
actually) DLLs to work out of the box. This project intends to fix that 
problem, while providing the ease of use of the One Click Installer 
(registering extensions, PATH, etc.).

I hope to be able to commit the NSIS installer script and Rakefile to 
build the installer ASAP, together with a usable web presence for the 
project.

Thank you for your time.
