If its something that you can attepmt a partial solution on. He simply 
asked the question if anyone knows of windows binaries for mod_ruby. A 
question I have been considering asking myself as I have had no luck 
finding any myself.

Daniel, I don't know how you think you have come across but to me you 
are being downright rude.

In his first post he said he didn't find any binaries for windows (xp 
specifically). If you try using google to find any you won't, I've tried 
myself and I have seen a few hints to them including a few messages to 
this list long ago.

There is a good chance that he is using a binary distro of Apache and 
its also quite possible that he doesn't have the means to build the 
source himself.
