Subject: rdoc problems on windows

Hi,
I'm having problems doing anything with rdoc on windows. I discovered
this while tying to build the documentation for rails.
It seems rdoc hates having both -T and -t for the same command.

mkdir xxx 
cd xxx 
echo "1" > 1.rb 
echo "2" > 2.rb 
rdoc -o doc1 --line-numbers --inline-source -t 'foo' -T 'html' 1.rb
2.rb # only 1.rb gets parsed
rdoc -o doc2 --line-numbers --inline-source -t 'foo' 1.rb 2.rb #
again, only 1.rb
rdoc -o doc3 --line-numbers --inline-source -T 'html' 1.rb 2.rb # ok

Aditionally, the rails rake rdoc tasks fail with another strange
message when -t or --title is given.

The following is copy/pasted from http://rafb.net/paste/results/I25fwy65.html
