That's a good point, although I hasten to add that I wasn't _seriously_ planning on building binaries on Windows; I just thought it was interesting that it existed at all. :) I'll plan on ridding the Gemfile of Nokogiri the next chance I get, and get Windows tests running properly, and that should in principle eliminate the need for a separate build box.
