The raspell Ruby wrapper for the ASPELL utility is very easy to install
under Linux. Unfortunately, I am using raspell for an example in a Ruby
book that I am writing and some readers will be using Windows instead
of more reasonable options like Linux or OS X 
The only way that I can get raspell installed under Windows is to
install CYGWIN with gcc and perl, then install ruby under CYGWIN, then
install aspell, then raspell. This is way too much effort for a
casual reader to go through.
Does anyone have a short and easy way to get ASPELL + raspell installed
under a standard Ruby install with Windows?
Thanks in advance for any information,
Mark
