Jonathan,

Has anyone contacted you and offer help to compile the ripper parser on 
Windows?

If not can sbdy on the mailing list volunteer for this ? We need this 
library before we release FR 0.9.7

Can you also increment the version number of your ripper and send me a 
tar.gz of your sources so that I can recompile it on Linux.

Thanks
