FWIW, I've seen these problems also:
1. Tried to run something and got a NotImplemented exception saying
that fork() was not implemented on this platform. (!) This was
probably the first time I'd tried to do a fork on Windows using the
non-Cygwin Ruby. We've also lost popen, haven't we?

2. No matter the version of Ruby (on Windows) I see it hang from
time to time (on exit). This is chiefly (only?) when doing GUI work
-- Tk or FXRuby, doesn't matter (GTK? Can't recall). My workaround is:
a. kill the DOS window;
b. hit YES, I really want to kill it;
c. Ctl-alt-del, scroll down to Winoldap; hit End Task
d. Wait a few seconds, get a dialog saying the task is unwell
e. Hit End Task
f. Open a new DOS window

Not to [re]open a can of worms, but exactly why did we move away
from the Cygwin version? I realize we have reduced dependence on
an outside entity, but have we broken more than we fixed? Did the
threading problem happen on the Cygwin Ruby?

On a related note: Are there instructions for building Ruby on
Windows? I never got it to work with djgpp. I'd be willing to
try it with VC++, but I'd like to see at least minimal docs
first. Maybe they're there and I just haven't noticed them.

And another thought: How well does Rubicon work on Windows? The
last time I tried it, there were some (fixable) problems. This
tool is IMO too important to be just the plaything of its creator
(Dave?) -- I think the community should get behind it, on every
platform.

Enough rambling from me.

Cheers,
Hal Fulton
