Subject: Ruby Executable Issues

hi all,

i'm creating a program and i'd like it to run as a standalone
executable on any of the various platforms.

i dev in linux, but my first program is for a windows friend - yeah, i
have some.  ;-)

i'd like to create an executable for windows - and i understand
rubyscript2exe can do exactly that.  however, i also understand that
the program user would still have to have ruby installed on their
computer, in addition to the the executable i would create.

i've been reading up on allinoneruby, and it appears to be just ruby,
with no application.

can i somehow combine these two to get a truly standalone application?

is there a better way to achieve standalone executable status (windows
first, but i'm still interested in how to do so on linux and mac).

tia...
