No doubt! And I have a setup for that. While it's tempting to take a Gem only 
route, I'm thinking it a good idea to hang on to a manual install too. Is 
that a good idea? I would like to here the pros and cons of that!

Thanks, Chad. I've taken a look at the gems install.rb. I grok most of it but 
what's this about?

    if is_windows_platform
      File.open(target+".cmd", "w") do |file|
        file.puts "@ruby #{target} %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9"
      end
    end
