Hi everyone,

I’ve just checked out revision 68 and everything compiles in VS.  
However, when running rake, I get an error. Here’s the truncated rake  
–trace, with the error at the end. I’m running Win XP Pro 32bit with  
VS2008 and Ruby 1.8.6 from the one click installer. I’ve also installed  
the pathelement2 gem.
