I packed a Rails application using the instructions from the excellent  
Ruby2exe page. However, when I run the exe, use the application and then  
hit Ctrl-C to finish the application, Ruby2Exe and tar2ruby do not  
clean the temp files they created. Any way of making Ruby2Exe clean the  
temp files when the Rails application ends?

Best regards,  
Juan
