I think that might get mucky, since the directory structure might
change from release to release and things like that.

My employer always sticks ruby scripts I write for him in with the
ruby distribution.  This drives me bonkers, I have no idea why he does
this.

Is this common practice on Windows?  I'd prefer to leave my code OUT
of places where it can get mixed in with an active distribution.  I
don't know, maybe it's just an
(only-uses-windows-when-absolutely-necessary) type coders point of
view, but sliding my scripts into C:\ruby seems to be begging for
problems.
