I find this difficult to believe. Why should C:\ruby\bin even be in  
the path that the GIMP looks for DLLs in? I feel like this is a bug,  
either in the ruby installer (it puts that path into the windows  
equivalent of ld.conf) or in the gimp (it's just scouring the hard- 
drive unnecessarily).  Have you tried NOT renaming the the files and  
continuing to install the GIMP to see what happens?
