I should have mentioned this in the last email. I'd like to find something platform independent too. I use Linux personally, but I'd like it to work on Windows, Mac OS X, and of course Linux.

I don't know all the internals, but essentially, yes. It collects
everything needed to run your script into a self-extracting executable

It has worked great for me in the past, I was able to make a
standalone app which included an FXRuby UI and web support. It was a
pretty large executable, but ran perfectly on an otherwise ruby-free
laptop.
