Can you point me to the rubyinstaller dev list?

I did manage to find one fix:

gem install kwatch-mysql-ruby --platform=mswin32 
--source=http://gems.github.com/

It's supposed to be a working mysql gem for 1.9.1.  However, it gives me 
the following error:

*** ERROR: can't find mysql client library.
*** extconf.rb failed ***

I also saw that if you use linux you can use mysql 5.1 but with windows 
you need to use 5.0 - I'm not sure why this is and not sure how that 
will affect me going forward.  All of my websites are hosted and use 
mysql 5.1 - they are also on linux/unix boxes.  I just program on a 
windows box for convenience.

I appreciate everyone who has helped me out through some of this.  I've 
managed to learn a lot today (even with my frustrations) so that's not a 
bad thing..
