Yes there is. The best solution would be to rewrite the iedialog.dll so 
that it was an activex control (not a dll) and therefore would not 
require a modified WIN32OLE. I don't know how to do this myself.

Another option would be to migrate our changes to the win32ole library 
to a newer version of Ruby, which would still result in a hard-coded 
dependency.

Both solutions require a C/C++ programmer. I have no plans to do either, 
but will gladly accept contributions.
