Hi Matz

Thanks for your email.  I hope that the work spent in getting it to run 
under MSVC will scale across.  I shall try my best to work with this 
issue as we go forward.

Also, I am seriously hoping that there will be some more support from 
other people as we go ahead.

I would really much rather see Ruby running on embedded systems (like 
T-Engine) since it will be directly in my area of work... (btw, I read 
about the work that Toshiba is doing in making Cairo + Ruby work for 
Cell based systems).

But, I shall try to do my best in the time I have.

Thanks,
Mohit.
