Hi Michael,

I'm trying to use the bluecloth-2.0.5-x86-mingw32.gem gem on Windows
XP, and the install went beautifully, but I get errors on use.  Using
this test:
* * * *
require 'bluecloth'
BlueCloth.new('*testing*').to_html
* * * *

I get the following:
* * * *
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
`gem_original_require': no such file
 to load -- bluecloth_ext (LoadError)
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
31:in `require'
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bluecloth-2.0.5-x86-
mingw32/lib/bluecloth.rb:156
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
36:in `gem_original_require'
        from C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:
36:in `require'
        from C:/Ruby/temp.rb:1
* * * *

Am I missing a dependency somewhere? Apologies if this is an obvious
issue, I'm not a Ruby person, I'm just trying to help the Prototype
project with its documentation, and naturally they're trying to use
BlueCloth2 for markdown stuff.

Thanks in advance,
