I don't want to mislead you here -- the Ruby Installer project *is* the
Windows Installer, and  what is currently there is completely windows
specific. But I want to see it expand in scope to encompass other platforms.
This may (or may not) end up being separate code-bases maintained under the
umbrella of the "Ruby Installer" project.

But in order for that to happen someone would have to step up and take on
the task of championing one or more additional platforms.
