That is true. I suppose I was exaggerating a bit. I
should've said that I won't touch a library that isn't
"stable" unless it's obviously being developed so that
it will end up at that point eventually.

Certainly not my "chief" interest. What I want is
Ruby, with mod_ruby (or somesuch for Apache on
Windows), and a module for PostgreSQL. Yep, I think
that about covers it. However, it's like pulling teeth
to find a package that doesn't have to be compiled, if
source code even exists for windows. Ugh.
