Unfortunately, I must deploy to a windows OS, and, from what I gather  
Capistrano just isn’t up to the task of that – not in terms of  
configuring it for windows.

Essentially, I am running a rails app in JRuby using the Glassfish gem  
as it’s (altogether extremely capable) server. So, essentially, I jsut  
dump it all in a directory, and fire up the glassfish gem. However,  
I’d like the goodies of Capistrano, like being able to have it make  
the release out of the svn repository, etc.

Anyone here deploying to Windows? If so, what are you using?
