I just released RubyScript2Exe 0.4.2.

RubyScript2Exe transforms your Ruby script into a standalone,  
compressed Windows, Linux or Mac OS X (Darwin) executable. You  
can look at it as a “compiler”. Not in the sense of a  
source-code-to-byte-code compiler, but as a “collector”, for it  
collects all necessary files to run your script on an other  
machine: the Ruby script, the Ruby interpreter and the Ruby  
runtime library (stripped down for this script). Anyway, the  
result is the same: a standalone executable (application.exe).  
And that’s what we want!
