Hello Aldric

This has been commented, replied and exposed several times:

1) There will not be a One-Click Installer in the same shape that you
know for 1.9.1

I've exposed the reasons behind it several times here and in
rubyinstaller-devel and user list.

2) I decided to wait for 1.9.1 to have a stable and less fluctuating
working base as 1.9 target

RubyInstaller will target both 1.8.6 and 1.9.1 release

3) ballpark for a beta was estimated for mid-february, I'm writing
about the rewrite progress in my blog[1]

This got pushed by daily work, but contributions are always welcome.

4) I believe people should start caring[2]

If don't bother get your hands dirty, help out or go for the garbage
collect builds[3]
(and don't forget to download the related and needed stuff from there)
