Appears that supporting multiple run times might be trickier than expected http://groups.google.com/group/thin-ruby/browse_thread/thread/c15b2472eb97c2ba/5997cf0c6ce2b103 though interestingly, now that I think about it, you could probably mix different versions of GCC since with mingw by default they all rely on the same runtime. Also, I suppose if we went from one MS compiler to the next it would have similar problems. Feedback? =r

Didn''t you follow all the discussions about mixing binaries linked to different C runtime libraries? -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
