Sorry Ben, I missed your first email on this until today (cmpilato -
thanks for the heads up!)

That's correct.

Let me know if r1492295 fixes the problem for you. As you mentioned
there are other problems running the Ruby tests on Windows on an out
of tree build so I can't run the tests to completion, but this should
fix the LoadError you encountered and AFAICT works with [Ruby 1.8 |
1.9] x [in-tree | out-of-tree builds].
