I -think- on Windows the ruby interpreter semiautomagically sets up the paths 
it needs relative to the path where ruby.exe that was run is located, so if 
you can go without the aesthetics and compactness of rubyscript2exe, you 
should be able to safely get away with distributing your ruby directory along 
in the application's distribution somewhere.
