Subject: Re: Ruby now comes with Cygwin installer


I didn't mean anything sinister by bare bones, I'm used to the PragProg
windows installer which includes everything including the kitchen sink.
What the Python folk like to call a "Batteries included distribution".

I'd like to say thanks for your efforts in this. I think it will make a
significant contribution to the Ruby community because of it's visibility
and availability.

Yes, I added a plain 1.6.8 to the Cygwin release.  I had just the
usual(?) trouble with tcltklib so I had to release a new version
a few days later.

Actually I'm very new to Ruby (I'm just through up to chapter 18
of the pickaxe book and wrote my first 5 or 6 scripts) but I was
very excited about this new language and when I learned that it
builds OOTB on Cygwin, I couldn't stop anymore :-)

However, I'm open to criticism and suggestions if I did something
wrong.  I'm a bit concerned about the "bare bones" wording...
