[Mongrel] Mongrel doesn''t start under Rails 2.0.2/Win XP

Based on my testing, it appears to me there is something that Mongrel is
loading that is requiring MSVCR80.dll, since 1.0.  Isn''t that correct?

I''ve been on 1.0.1 for a while.  I''m on the
rubygems-developers list so
I see as soon as they post updates and I tend to upgrade immediately.
So I ran into all the 0.9.5 problems and to try and fix it, I got my
gems to compile on Windows.  But I''ve been off of 0.9.5 for a while.

I know.  Honestly, I''ve enjoyed the "underdog" role of being
"the only
or one of few Windows guys in the room" at Ruby/Rails gathering to some
degree.  And when I get the sense that there is Mac elitism at work, it
really bugs me.  But, if I''m going to use Rails as a major tool in my
work, it behooves me to make it as easy as possible for myself to
develop.  Back when I was doing mostly Java work, it didn''t really
matter that I was on Windows.
