Thanks for pointing me at these. I just tried rubyscript2exe - very
impressive. Yes this should solve the problem to certain extent - only
that the overhead is amazing. A simple 'puts "hello world"' took approx
900k. The size doesn't grow very much with the size of the program, but
increases in leaps when you use libraries.=20

Yes native woulf be the best, but using a mainstream runtime would
enable Ruby to leverage the effort undertaken by creators of the
runtime. I cannot say much for the JVM, but most machines have the CLR
by now - esp if you have been using the windows updates. For unix
systems also there are CLR available.=20

Roshan
