Ah, nice! I've been looking into this and even put this task (of
win32utils over FFI) in my ever-growing list of TODOs (albeit, closer
to the end of the list). It is great to see that Daniel himself is
doing this stuff.

Win32API on top of FFI was pretty simple and easy (well, I mean, easy
for Wayne). He posted a link to the implementation one message above.
And now in JRuby it all works, Win32API, win32/resolv, win32/registry.
Power to the FFI! :)
