Actually (to reply to myself -- sorry) I'm not sure
it works at all on Windows. The few packages I've 
tried today give me this error:

  C:/RUBY173/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/raainstall/tar.rb:72:
  in `read': unexpected end  of file (Zlib::GzipFile::Error)

(There's more, of course.)

Anyone used raa-install on Windows?
