Don't mix the term "Ruby" and the term "Ruby with all the other
stuff" (like Fox libraries, TCL/TK libraries, etc). I'm talking
about "Ruby".

I'm working on a couple of things, for both RubyScript2Exe and
AllInOneRuby, to handle additions as well. Right now, I can 
handle the bin/*.dll, if they are part of lib/**/*.so . For
example, tcltklib.so needs tcl83.dll and tk83.dll .

But that's still in the pipeline, not yet released...
