BTW, Apache-on-Windows allows you to tell Apache (via some line in http.conf; read the in-file comments) to use the Windows registry
to determine where to find the ruby interpreter (i.e., based on file type association).

This is handy if, for example, you're trying to develop cross-platform code and don't want to have to keep changing the shebang
line.
