True--that ain't a one click installer but more of manual steps for 
installing a working ruby version (which otherwise would have taken far 
more clicks).

those aren't in the zip file [which ain't a one click installer yet]. 
If you want all the goodies you'll need to help the one click people out

They also add openssl, libiconv, readline, etc.  Other than that it 
should be the same.  Oh, and the devkit :)
