Ah, ok.  Because of the curious interaction SIGINT and threads on
windows, the first thing I tried was killing this using the Task
Manager.  However, when I did that the .rbc file was NOT generated.

I got it to work by running "ruby -r exerb/mkrbc exetest.rb" and hitting
Ctrl-C in one terminal (which doesn't kill it), and then attempting to
make a connection in a second terminal with a throw-away client script
(which then does kill it).  At that point, the .rbc file was generated,
I created a .exe and ran it successfully.

Anyway, hope that helps future Googler's.  And thanks Nathaniel.
