As far as I know, there's currently no way to generate an exe out of a ruby
1.9 script, short of packing the ruby script into the exe and calling the
external ruby interpreter. Since the ruby interpreter runs on windows just
fine though, why are you in need of an exe?
In the future it may be possible to compile the ruby bytecode into an exe
and bundle an interpreter with it, but I'm pretty sure nothing like that
exists yet.
