We can make this simple then:

    - A developer's distribution.  Small, just core Ruby.  You've got
    to get Tk, cygwin, et al, all by yourself.

    - A sumo distribution.  All singing, all dancing, everything you
    could need including rdtool, rubyunit, etc.

    - A user distribution.  No development tools per se, just the 
    tk/cygwin stuff needed to run ruby (DLLs only, etc.)

What do ya'll think?
