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

I found it.  Sigh.

Mongrel was trying to use fastthread 1.0.1 which apparently had been
compiled with VC 8 (see below).  I''m pretty sure that fastthread is not
even necessary anymore - is that right?  When I removed the fastthread
gem, it starts up fine.

Also, check out my VC8 polluted PATH entries:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\bin;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin;
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCPackages;

(I got these because I installed the MSVC++ 2005 Express Edition at some
point).

So...just to be clear, should these entries be banished from my PATH
immediately (unless of course I decide to start developing VC++ :])?

Thanks for all of the help, guys.
