Subject: windows bat file help needed for rubygems

How do I get a windows .bat file to return a proper exit code?

RubyGems build stubs that look something like this:

"c:\ruby\bin\ruby" -x "%~f0" %*
goto endofruby
#!/bin/ruby
abort 'boom'
__END__
:endofruby

But if I run this:

ruby -e "system 'stub.bat'; p $?"

I get the wrong exit code (0 instead of 1).

If I can get the right exit code then failure to build rake  
extensions will fail installs properly in Rubygems.
