This came up a week ago in this thread: <http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c20081203162714.GZ6812%40beekeeper.hobix.com%3e> I think the way I'll do it is to download all of the gems for a specific version and package those up with the app. So html-scraper.shy will include all the different platform gems. Before launch, it'll treat the collection of gems as a local repository. In the case of an EXE, it'll probably only include the gem for that platform, unless the user indicates otherwise. (And same for OS X and Linux packages.) _why
