This package allows you to run windows tk ruby 1.8 programs even if your windows ruby wasn't built with tk enabled at the time.

mostly useful for 1.8.6 mingw.

usage:

git clone git://github.com/rdp/ruby_windows_tk.git

cd ruby_windows_tk

ruby install.rb

then

require 'tk'

should now work

pre-req: active state tcl 8.4 in your path (on some boxes--probably all)
