title: therubyracer gem on windows
body: <p>I've been peacefully developing on Windows without adding any gems for a few weeks now and today I decided to do a bundle update, but I cannot get through this gem called therubyracer. I have the devkit installed and it is working according to the documentation's verification procedure.</p>
  <p>My question is: is there a way to install this gem at all on windows?</p>
  <p>And is this gem going to be required by rails 3.1 and this is why now that I do a bundle update it is being 'slipped' into the rails 3.0.8 as a gesture of early kick start for future 3.1 migration?</p>
