You are right, it's not as easy with ruby-gtk.  You can get fairly close 
though.  Using upx to compress the gtk runtime dlls and python dlls, I 
was able to create an installer for a Python PyGTK application that was 
5-6MB in size.  This included everything the user needed to run the app 
on Windows including the GTK2 runtime.
