Who used win32:guitest module? When I require it and run, got such an  
error:  
can’t find cygwin1.dll. I am confused with it.

I think the one you download from rubyforge is linked agains cygwin  
libs.  
You can download sources and compile, if you have MS studio or platform  
sdk installed.

Just Windows being Windows, send some hate mail to Bill Gates.  
As to where it needs to go, whether it be in the actual gem folder or  
system32, i have no clue, read the source code and see if you cant find  
out where its looking for the dll.
