Let me second (or whatever it's up to) that. Thanks for allowing the Syck 
patch, too.

There will be a release some time in the next couple of weeks (thanks for 
your work on that, Mr. Curt Hibbs), but you can certainly run 1.8.4 on 
Windows before that. If you want to compile Ruby, to play nice with the 
One-Click Installer you might need to use the same compiler (VS7 IIRC).

Alternatively, you can get the Ruby-mswin32 build from 
http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/ - "1.8.4" will probably be up 
shortly, and even if it isn't, I'm pretty sure the Dec.23 version of 
1.8.4-preview3 is identical.

Happy Christmas!
