Yes.  That just tells me how to get a bare-bones ruby install.
Does not mention anything about how gems would be handled if I compile 
my own ruby version (I assume those are compiled for the one-click 
installer version).

I basically want to distribute a vc7 or vc8 compiled ruby with my 
application, but it must work seamlessly with all gems and anything 
else.  More so, I might even want to distribute something more akin to 
the one-click installer rather than something barebones.

So, I ask again, what's the status of ruby on windows?  Still a mess?

Being that gems is now part of ruby1.9, I think some more clarification 
in the docs is in order.
