It does nothing other then get unpacked into a /usr/local directory structure (yeah...not very Win32 but...)

What is nice is all the precompiled libraries unpack into the same structure (/usr/local) so to use it just add /usr/local/bin to your environment path.  You then get ruby and rubyw from the command line.  You should not have to dink with the registry.

I have found this version extremely stable (with none of the networking socket problems I had encountered under the cygwin version).

And its kept VERY up to date (like updates every 4-5 days for a while).
