win32utils devel - Feb 2010 - Win32-api 1.4.6 release and mswin32 binary?

Hey all,


Before this starts to bite us too much. It looks like there''s a new
release
of win32-api gem - 1.4.6, which only has a mingw precompiled binary, as
opposed the mswin binaries for the previous versions. Is there a mswin
binary in the works, otherwise projects depending on this and people using
the one click installer are going to, and are getting errors trying to
compile.


Cheers,

If the project used rake-compiler, release of binary versions for both
gem platforms will only take change:

ext.platform = "i386-mingw32"

to

ext.platform = ["i386-mingw32", "i386-mswin32-60"]

Also, if the gem was built using rake-compiler, installation process
should work smoothly with either VC6 or MinGW, as long you have all
the headers in place and extconf.rb do not do weird things.
