Get them in touch with me if you don't mind; I've got a lot of work
that I've done so far and I'll point out that the problem, at the
moment, isn't so much Ruby itself, but extensions and the things upon
which those extensions are based. There are also some concerns about
the permissions required to install Ruby build with C++ 14 (VS 2005,
MSVCRT8).
