Will it be possible and feasible to package the Sass & Compass helper functions into a self-contained executable for the Windows Platform (and without installing Ruby) ?

Ruby is by default on Mac OS, but not on Windows. I thinks a compiler like this should give us a lots of new ways to manage our Scss. For example to create more easily self-contained web projects (without third parties to install), to integrate more efficiently Sass into an IDE, or for other persons who are working on the same web project, but only occasionally on the front-end part (so that they won't have to install all the Ruby kit).

A self-contained compiler already exist for .Less (with the dotLess project), but not for Sass & Compass, which is I think a lack for this great and powerfull metalanguage. And it should help to generalize and make it more accessible for all web developpers working on Windows.

Thanks a lot (and sorry for my bad english)!
Regards,
Etienne.
