I use ruby on windows. I

* am frightened of integration with the registry
* am moderately excited about rubygems package management capabilities
* would like to be able to install rubygems w/out package management, 
w/out rubygems

To me, the important concern is that packages and metadata be saved in 
a form that is  usable from many different angles.  I've joined the 
rubygems devel list, and I will report on some spikes I will try over 
there.

This is a coding standards problem.  I'll suggest a standard when I 
have a better idea than the current incarnation of rubygems.

Cheers,

Patrick
