Correction!  You have to do these things instead:

gem install win32-service
gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/
gem install mongrel_service --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/

Then you'll now not use mongrel_rails_service, but instead just use
mongrel_rails and you'll get these commands:

 - restart
 - service::install
 - service::remove
 - service::start
 - service::stop
 - start
 - stop
 - version

The service::install, service::remove, service::start, and service::stop
now all do what the mongrel_rails_service sript did.

This means DO NOT DO THIS ON PRODUCTION SITES!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the confusion.  Thanks.
