Absolutely.  For libraries, we'd request the path to the Ruby
installation and leverage that to either: (1) run the install.rb or (2)
install directly.  I'm not sure why I'm presenting option (2).

MSI is commonly used in deploying applications on a web server.
Nullsoft's installer is nice as well.  There's plenty of good options
that could be plugged into raa-install within a few hours.
