win32utils installer

[Martin DeMello]

The win32utils installer (from
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=85&release_id=1233) only seems to
install the .so files; the .rb files aren't installed unless you get the
packages individually. Is this a problem with my setup or with the
installer?

With the installer. We are working on fixing this ... expect the new
release very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The only file you might be missing is mc.rb in the win32-eventlog
package. The rest are a (usually incomplete) equivalent of the C
version. We explicitly exclude those (precisely because they are
incomplete). The only exception to this is win32-sapi, which is a pure
Ruby package, though I don't think it was included in V2 of the
installer anyway (it came out later).

As for why I chose C over pure Ruby in most cases, here's the
summation:

* C was easier for me than Win32API, at least when I started
* Ruby/DL is not production ready
* Win32OLE was not production ready until 1.8.2
