Well, rawr has exactly the same problems -- as I understand it, the only 
difference is that it combines your apps and your gems into one giant jar.

In other words, pay no attention to my rambling.

The main thing I like about rawr is that if you're going that route anyway, 
it's a nice cross-platform solution. It builds a Ruby app that's as portable 
as any Java app, but gives you native installers for all of them. It also has 
an awesome logo.

No idea, that might be answered in the FAQ someone else mentioned.
