Very exciting! I hope to see this progress quickly - I'm especially
interested in using it to drive Windows Forms applications.

I know you aren't requesting bug reports but I have a couple anyways:

require 'net/http'
puts 'Hello, world!'

rubycompiler test.rb
Error: Ruby.RubyException: No such file to load -- net/http

Set RUBYLIB:

As expected.

set RUBYLIB=c:\program files\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8;c:\program
files\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\i386-mswin32

rubycompiler test.rb

"net/http" requires "net/protocol" which requires "socket.so"

We do not support loading of native libraries.

We support only the classes and modules built into the Ruby language.
We do not plan to implement other classes such as socket which are
shipped with Ruby (apart from those implemented as standard Ruby source code). Others in the community may volunteer to implement
those classes. Alternatively, you could use equivalent functionality
in the .NET class library.

Cheers, Wayne.
