Subject: Re: mod_ruby under windows

I think it's possible to run it on windows under cygwin so you might try
that. I am looking into the possiblility of porting it to windows because we
need it at work and it  would help to increase mod_ruby's popularity. I
haven't done a lot of C though, so if I make progress it will be slow. Would
be interested in helping?
