Agreed, and I just pushed a change the restricts it to >= 1.9.2

I'm not against it still working on 1.8.7 - I'm just against:

a) doing the work to make it work, and
b) dealing with issues when people try to run code that either
requires blocking threads, or non-ruby threads calling back into ruby.

btw, I *think* I fixed up the win32 build.  I couldn't test it, since
I'm having issues getting rake-compiler to build a cross-ruby on my
machine ... and I have no win32 vm to run it in anyway.  But, if
anyone wants to try building out of master for win32 and letting me
know if it all works, that would be nice.
