I follow these instructions to configure a windows environment:
https://github.com/xforty/vagrant-drupal/wiki/HowTo:--install-on-windows

Then I clone the project and run `librarian-chef install` and get the error:
https://gist.github.com/1621439

I've tried the "git bash" shell that's installed with git for windows. I've also tried the "Start Command Prompt with Ruby" shell that's installed with the RubyInstaller. "git bash" bombs on the apache2 cookbook from the community site. Ruby command prompt bombs on the database cookbook from the community site. Cookbooks from a git repo appear to work.

There's a `fork` in librarian's code:
https://github.com/applicationsonline/librarian/blob/master/lib/librarian/chef/source/site.rb
lib/librarian/chef/source/site.rb line 180

We will need to find a way to fix that for this to work on windows.
