win32utils devel - Apr 2013 - A universal "windows" platform for Rubygems

I think it''s time I brought this up again. Unfortunately, my original
pull
request is lost, but I think you get the gist of it:

https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/93

What do you think?

Regards,

Dan

I think the rubygems should be more concerned with Windows platform.
I hope that Luis Lavena do not disagree with you at this time.

I''ve forked rubygems, though I haven''t started working on it
again yet.
I''ve added you as a collaborator. I''ll add anyone else lurking
on the list
who is interested.

There are actually two things I want to do.

First, is the "windows" platform. Luis'' concerns were for
binary gems where
the lack of a specific toolchain platform might be an issue. One thing we
could do is issue a warning and/or fail if the
Gem::Specification#extensions attribute is set.

Second is changing the default cpu to "universal". Having gem installs
fail
because of "x86" vs "x86-64" is annoying, and I
don''t know of a single
non-binary gem that depends on it. Again, we could check the
"extensions"
attribute if necessary.

Regards,

Dan
