and 1.1.6 (1.9 compatible) only available through

gem install mongrel --source [http://gems.rubyinstaller.org](http://gems.rubyinstaller.org)

Thanks.

Is not that easy. The gem available at [gems.rubyinstaller.org](http://gems.rubyinstaller.org) is only  
“build compatible” with 1.9, and is not taking advantage of it.

A safer bet will be integrate Unicorn and make it work with  
non-posix/fork() environments.

## Patches are welcome.
