Ruby2EXE might be what you are looking for.  It allows for multi-
platform executables.  Run a search on the Internet you may find more
current documentation.  When I used for some windows stuff it worked
well for me, once I wrapped my head around it.  Also be aware that
you'll be adding the overhead of the Ruby engine to every script.
Depending on the size and number of scripts you are working with you
may find it isn't suitable for your needs.
