I wanna give Erik a plug.  I've been succesfully using the bottom 2
apps to make standalone ruby apps for one of my projects.  Very handy.
Erik is also very responsive, I found a bug in tar2rubyscript and he
fixed it immediately.

Sometime in the near future, I'll probably try to port rubyscript2exe to solaris.
