Thanks Gavin! That one actually did it! All I had to do from there was 
write a launcher script that would lauch the application from /lib so I 
called

require "#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/../lib/appname"

and instantiated the main class - et voila!

Phillip: I also toyed around with rubyscript2exe because it seems very 
appealing. In the end I couldn't figure out how to easily include 
additional files (I need to deploy some graphics with the application) - 
the gem, however, easily allows for that.

Hey - thanks again - you saved me from another day of bad headaches!

Cheers,
Tony
