Works on windows and cygwin, but you might have to add ".exe" to spawn
an external process.
really? the install name doesn't include the extention then?
thanks for the check.

This works reliably to get the full path to the interpreter on both *nix and
Win platforms:
ruby = File.join(::Config::CONFIG['bindir'],
::Config::CONFIG['ruby_install_name'])
ruby << ::Config::CONFIG['EXEEXT'

It doesn't, but EXEEXT is not needed by system and spawn.

When cut-and-pastes Got Wrong. Next on Fox. That should have been:
ruby = File.join(::Config::CONFIG['bindir'],
::Config::CONFIG['ruby_install_name'])
ruby << ::Config::CONFIG['EXEEXT']

tricky. what is spawn?!
does this do anything tricky on windows like it does on *nix:
system "#{ cmd } 2>/dev/null"
??

As well as command.com/cmd.exe, some suffixes can be omitted.

It would work except that:
* redirection with file descriptor works only on cmd.exe, but
not command.com, and
* /dev/null doesn't exist on Windows.

I believe it exists (not sure if on *ALL* versions) as
"NUL". Notice that it is spelt with a single L
