Following the book, I try:  
cap --apply-to C:\CapPlanner\trunk\Source capplanner  
And get in reply:

I can replace the 's in the path with /'s, or the whole thing with  
‘.’. It does not matter.

I installed fastthread (1.0-mswin32) as suggested.  
ruby -v 1.8.6  
cap -V 2.1.0  
InstaRails 1.7

Turns out Capistrano has updated, and v 2.x is way different than the  
Agile book assumes. Can anyone out there tell me what should be done  
to get things in a state that I can follow along?
