I had actually started and I did get a running Ruby. But I had to do a
*lot* of extra stuff toward getting a working One-Click Installer
approach.

I have recently had time to install the appropriate development tools
on my laptop (my old Windows laptop, not a virtual environment in my
Mac, which I will be doing later), so I hope to pick this up again to
help with the effort we were talking with Microsoft about.
