hey!

"You don't have permission to access 
/ruby/installs/ruby-186-p287-mbari.msi on this server."

the file permissions seem to be wrong.
but i've installed .NET3.5 now and was able to build the .msi 
installer(s) myself.

some quick testing showed the following behavior:

- initial memory load seems to be much higher than mswin32 builds
  "ruby script/console" uses around 70-75 MB while the mswin32 build 
just grabbed 40-42 MB.
- installed gems don't seem to play nice with the mingw32 build. while i 
was able to install a compatible mongrel build, the mongrel_service gem 
seems not to be compatible at all.
i can start mongrel on console via "ruby script/server -e production" 
but when trying to start as a service it just crashes and tries to start 
over and over and over...
- memory consumption over time is hard to tell so far, but my guess is 
that it is marginally better than the official stable OCI build.
