We'll definitely have a ruby19 gem available for Windows for the 
upcoming 2.0 release (next week or so). Whether we offer both mingw and 
mswin32 for Ruby 1.9.1 is not yet finalised, but in practice they're 
interchangeable. There will certainly be mingw as that's the direction 
the OCI is going in (for good reasons, IMHO).

Very. wxRuby has supported ruby 1.9 for a year now, and I switched over 
mainline dev of my app to it a few months ago. There are also a lot of 
changes in SVN HEAD which make it considerably more stable generally 
than the current beta releaes, 1.9.9.
