* Bowline http://leadthinking.com/191-bowline-a-ruby-gui-framework is
an option too, if you want another point on the spectrum between RIA
and native.
* JRuby/Glimmer uses SWT, so you'll get your native widgets.

any experience packaging and deploying it on windows. If you do go
this route and get a windows executable up and running, I'd love to
