Rubyinstaller devel - Jul 2008 - IIS FastCGI

IIS 6 already supports Rails under FastCGI but requires a few  
adjustments
(http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/02/18/10-steps-to-get-Ruby-on-Rails-running-on-Windows-with-IIS-FastCGI.aspx
):

- a tweak on line 559 of cgi.rb
- RoR IIS extensions

Do you think it would be beneficial to include the cgi.rb fix and the  
RoR IIS extension already in the installer?

The CGI tweak should be sent to Ruby-Core, patching is a thing I will
not like to do more than needed.

The IIS extensions mentioned over there are built with VC7 which link
to a different version of MSVCRT.

To solve that, I worked with Drew Sears and bundled fcgi with latest
One-Click Installer.

I''ll suggest the creator of fcgi extension work on a Gem so we can
bundle it or ease installation as installing plain extensions on top
of new RubyInstaller package is not a good alternative.
