We've recently got Qt4 QtRuby building with cmake on both Linux and
Mac OS X, which is a giant step forward. In theory it should be just
as easy to build on Windows now, but as none of the developers (ie
Caleb Tennnis or myself) are particularly Windows oriented we haven't
had time to try it yet. The next release will be quite soon and use
cmake and so I'm really hoping that normal humans will finally be able
to easily build QtRuby in all enviroments without having to deal with
'autohell'.
