Hi Luis, Eric, My original email seems to be lost (I sent it before subscribing to the list), so I'll just quickly repeat it (those parts that I remember :) )

Hmm, would things like ruby -S or jruby -S work for that purpose? > `gem install rake` will generate only `rake.bat` instead of `rake` and > `rake.bat` This makes me uneasy a bit. I like the fact that on both Unix-like and Windows platforms I have the same scripts (like rake, rails, gem) and they are identical on both platforms, and easy to use with jruby -S cmd (they don't even need to executable, since Ruby would just run them as scripts). Removing the files with no extensions and leaving only bat files will break both ruby -S and jruby -S.
