Hi, I have some seed data in MySql which contains non-ASCII characters (as you''d imagine as these are worldwide placenames that I''m storing).

I would like to know if there is a way to ''package'' an application with all the associated gems and ship it to a new server and having it to "just work" in a Windows environment.

I''m going through Peepcode''s Rspec Basics for an overview.
