Under WinNT (and _all_ the versions based on that kernel). slash and 
backslash works the same way for paths:

D:\Users\Developer\code>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

D:\Users\Developer\code>c:/Other-Rubies/Ruby185-p12/bin/ruby.exe -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i386-mswin32]

What specified there is add the script to the .cmd file, since he is 
referencing %0 (the script) and -x to run any file as Ruby.

I've updated the proposed patch to fix the setup.rb and the installer 
generated stubs.

%* works from WinNT and later.

%1..%9 are used by win9x.

For the sake of compatibility I left that on the updated (-2) patch on 
rubyforge.

Sorry my delay on answer this.
