Subject: miniruby.exe & statically linked ruby.exe (Windows)

I've been trying to build a statically linked ruby.exe on windows using 
MSVC.  I think I might have been successful, but I'm ending up with a 
filee that is exactly the same size as the miniruby.exe that gets created 
by win32/Makefile.sub.

I'm assuming (because of the name) that miniruby.exe is missing something.  
Is this true, and if so, what's missing?  [Actually, I just tried to run 
my script with miniruby.exe and found that it couldn't require net/http. 
Same goes for the statically linked ruby.exe I created, so it's apparently 
equivilent to miniruby.exe]

Can anyone give me any clues about building a statically linked ruby.exe 
on Windows using the microsoft compiler?
