win32-service-0.6.0-x86-mswin32-60.gem:

platform: current
rubygems_version: 0.9.5

win32-api-1.0.5-x86-mswin32-60.gem:

platform: current
rubygems_version: 0.9.5

You may need to ask Daniel berger to re-release these packages since
they are made with 0.9.5, which was behaving badly for mswin32
platform.

RubyGems 1.0.1 now generates proper platform, so updated files will
work properly.

gem update --system actually download rubygems-update gem and executes
it, so this is done for you.

Thank to you, and as Eric say: Keep those gems coming!
