Hal,

If you work on this I also suggest that you install the ripper 
extension in your Ruby tree. This is the first time we have to use a C 
based extension with FreeRIDE (ripper) and before we commit it in the 
FreeRIDE CVS repo I'd prefer that

a) we validate that ripper works fine on both Linux and Windows
b) we agree on where to put files in the CVS repo

For b) and based on the structure we have right now ripper.rb should 
go in freeride/redist and ripper.so should go in 
freeride/so/i686-linux for the Linux version and 
freeride/so/i686-mswin32 for the Windows version (mswin32).

However given how Ruby organizes extensions I really wonder if we need 
to have a separate so/ directory or if i686-linux/ and i686-mswin32/ 
directories should not simply be located under redist. What do you think ?

In any case the run.bat needs to be modified to include a platform 
specific include path based on the RUBY_PLATFORM constant.
