My point being that it works differently under Windows and it is 
considered acceptable there, whereas under *nix it works completely 
differently for no (IMO) particularly good reason.
Are you saying you prefer it only support hard-coded paths on all of its 
platforms?   I don't see Ruby as a 'system' service. 
I should be able to have multiple copies (w/ different versions) loaded 
wherever I want and know where it will get its modules (in 
subdirectories off of the Ruby binary).
