Actually, I've looked at it but have a few reasons not to use it:
1) requires compilation with VC

2) portability. With pid handling needed on multiple systems, I prefer
to let the "ruby one click installer" be the only required component
for a complete restoration(apart from the scripts themselves)

3) still learning ruby. What better way than to get down and dirty? :-)
