Don't know enough about win32 programming to say if this is interesting,
but it claims to do things vbscript cannot, so ruby bindings to the dll
might be useful.

It's got a COM interface, so you can use WIN32OLE to drive it. It does
look interesting, alas I haven't had time to properly look at it yet.

As has been said by others, ruby bindings are hardly necessary when using
its COM interface:
The example on the wiki may appear a bit tame but once you've
installed and registered the dll, it's just:
require 'win32ole'
au3 = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
.... and over to AutoItX3 for the "methods".

Wow, thanks! trying this was easier than it should 
- registered the dll (regsvr32.exe AutoItX3.dll)
- copied the vb example from the help chm in foo.rb
- put require 'win32ole' at the top of the file
- replace WScript.CreateObject with WIN32OLE.new
- ruby foo.rb
Thanks Martin, i just needed a nice keyboard automation tool just a
few days ago and this looks very nice
