I tried installing win32-event and it installed in
c:\ruby\...\i386-msvcrt.
All other win32 modules were installed in c:\ruby\...\i386-msvcrt\win32.
 
Any particular reason?

MessageGreat ! Thanks ...

Two questions:

1. Are there any (more) dependencies between the different win32utils modules? 

For example: 
     C:\win32utils\win32-mutex\test>ruby test.rb
     c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-msvcrt/win32/mutex.so: No such file to
load -- win32/ipc.so (LoadError)
        from test.rb:7

If there are, can we document them somewhere?

2. There seems to be a proliferation of win32 directories in the c:\ruby
directory tree.
    C:\ruby>dir /b win32 /s
        C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\win32
        C:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8\i386-mswin32\win32
        C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\win32
        C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\i386-msvcrt\win32
        C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\win32\win32

   If we are putting all our win32utils modules in one dir can we name it as
"win32utils" instead of  just "win32"?
   This may be a question for wider audience (ruby-talk)?

You can blame Park for this ;).  Yes, it will be documented.  I hadn''t
gotten around to it yet because we haven''t "officially"
released
win32-ipc.  Sorry for the confusion.

They should all be under site ruby.  I think the last one,
C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\win32\win32, was caused by a quirk in the
way mkmf and win32-eventlog install things.  I *think* I fixed it.  My
guess is that you have mc.rb under that directory.

As for the others, I believe part of the reason is the way mkmf works
with regards to .so files versus pure Ruby files. Also, you may have
done "make install" instead of "make site-install" (?).

Generally speaking I''ve noticed that mkmf needs work. ;)
