Subject: Create A Distributable Ruby Program With Minimal Install

Although I have started to use Ruby instead of Python, I very much miss
one feature that I have not been able to find in Ruby.

There is a Python utility that takes a python script, and creates a
single installable file that contains the Python interpreter, the input
script and a stripped down version of the Python library with just
enough stuff to support the script.

With it, I can share my treasures with people who might not be willing
to do a full-blown install of Python. As far as they know, my script
comes as just another EXE file for installing a program.

Is there such a utility for Ruby?

I have tried searching with Google and I haven't been able to figure out
a search string that wouldn't give me 100s of citations to full-blown
installs of the Ruby library.
