ParseTree is a great solution, but it uses RubyInline which
requires a C compiler (typically gcc). No luck with Windows.

I _think_ ParseTree could use RubyDL like EvilRuby. This would be 
something nice to have in Ruby 1.9. In the meantime I will try to play a 
bit with EvilRuby, or perhaps Florian Gross could help here :) :)
