Check here:

   http://repo.deveiate.org/rake-tasklibs/file/bc0c72d95663/win32.rb

I have a single directory of rake tasks for all my other projects that  
gets checked out under the top-level directory.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have for me if you see  
something glaringly wrong. I stitched the tasks together out of a  
couple of blog posts on the subject I found, and I know very little  
about Win32 or binary gems. They seem to work when I test them, but I  
might be doing something horrible.
