Qt4 QtRuby Windows port working

Congratulations to Ryan Hinton for getting a Windows port of the Smoke library and Qt4 QtRuby working. We just need to do a bit more to sync his version with the kde svn, and get it packaged. Then we're ready to do a first release that will run on Linux, BSD*, Mac OS X and Windows. Here's a couple of examples of how the ruby api improves on the original C++ one.

You can pass blocks to a constructor, which allows you to have your own 'custom constructor'. This is very nice for painter paths:

Or setting up widget layouts:

Any 'setFoobar(thing)' method can be written as 'foobar = thing', which makes the code more readable, especially when combined with constructor blocks like this:

Of course you don't have to compile your code, and don't need the moc preprocessor. You don't appreciate how much of an advantage this is until you go back to C++, and it seems very old fashioned..
