I one of the lucky few who don't seem to crash, which is nice for me but I 
don't have a clue how to attempt to track it down. On Mac OS X I think we 
need a similar wrapper for different reasons - there it doesn't seem possible 
to make a double clickable scripting application without a compiled top level 
stub.

One thing I noticed:

// this name can be used to allow apps 
// to detect what they were started with
static const char* script_name = "krubyinit_app";

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
     ruby_init();
     ruby_script((char*)script_name);
     ruby_options(argc, argv); 
     ruby_run();
}

If we hard code the script name won't that mess up tests against $0? - it will 
be different depending on whether it was started by krubyinit. That's 
intentional from the comment above, but I wonder if it would be better to 
leave the script name as it is, but set an environment variable 
'KRUBY_INIT_APP' instead?
