Sorry for the incomplete message. Here it is.

When I try to install mongrel via gem on my Windows system, I get the  
following options. Which one should I choose (1…4) and where can I get  
details about each of these options?

Thanks again…

$ gem install mongrel --include-dependencies  
Select which gem to install for your platform (i386-cygwin)

1. mongrel 1.0.1 (mswin32)
2. mongrel 1.0.1 (ruby)
3. mongrel 1.0 (mswin32)
4. mongrel 1.0 (ruby)
5. Skip this gem
6. Cancel installation
