Hi everyone,

This is just a quick announcement to let people know that a few of the  
Win32Utils libraries that previously required a compiler have now been  
gemified.

These include win32-taskscheduler, win32-changejournal and win32-thread.  
The win32-thread library is now pure Ruby, too.

gem install win32-taskscheduler  
gem install win32-changejournal  
gem install win32-thread

The win32-thread library will still cause the Ruby interpreter to  
segfault if you try to create more than one native thread, but hey, it’s  
experimental code. I thought that making it pure Ruby might at least  
encourage some experimentation. 🙂

Enjoy!
