Subject: Experiences with Exerb?

I'm dropping this here since there isn't too much information about
Exerb [1]

There is also RubyScript2exe [2] but this is different, since instead
of use stub executable to unpack your application in a temp folder it
replaces Ruby VM with a custom build that hook Kernel#require and some
other calls to make it run transparently without unpacking.

Ok, after the brief introduction, I'll like to know if there are users
out there that used Exerb  and wich version of Ruby (last time I used
it was with Ruby 1.8.2/4).

Exerb 0.4.3 supports 1.8.6, but fails to compile with patchlevel 111
(which indicate it requires a previous release).

Documentation about this project is scarce, and all the docs are in
Japanesse (at least something more than README).

Thanks in advance for the feedback, looking forward to heard from
others about this.

Luis
