When I try that (on Windows 2000), rdoc seems to happily run through all the source code, but then when it gets to the ri generation stage, it dies with:

  Generating RI...

I did a search from the 1.9 directory down for parser.rb and found a number, but not one that would be seen as yaml/parser.rb; can you suggest what I need to do to fix the rdoc-ing?  Or is it just that you haven't had a chance to get it working on Windows yet?  In that case, I'll just wait, especially since I'm sure /\ndy will give us a new year's present at some stage :-).
