Plain RubyScript2Exe is only able to detect and embed the
Ruby-TK bindings, not TK itself. By using the
--rubyscript2exe-tk option, it's forced to include TK itself as
well. AllInOneRuby has no --tk option. Therefore, the resulting
executable still depends on a manually installed version of TK.

In this case, --site is not relevant.

I'll consider including a --tk option in AllInOneRuby. It's
probably just copy & paste from RubyScript2Exe... ;]
