Apologies if this has been discussed before, but is there a way of 
offloading some of the effort to the community? What is required to 
build the installer? Certainly, the msvc project files for ruby itself 
and for the extensions, and the nullsoft (IIRC) installer script. Could 
these be maintained as a {ruby,source}forge project?
