1) Download rubyscript2exe-0.4.0.rb from sourceforge..

2) test ruby script:
# -----test.rb-----
puts ARGV[0]
# -----/test.rb-----

3) run rubyscript2exe-0.4.0.rb test.rb
4) drag a file on the created test.exe

--Alternately, just make an rb script that waits on "gets", then
simply drag the file into the command prompt and hit enter..

dunno.. just some thoughts..
