running Reposman on Windows fails with a "no such method uid on nilClass" error (perhaps I am paraphrasing, sorry). It appears to be treating the Windows system as if it were a *nix system. This, in turn appears to be because it is comparing @RUBY_PLATFORM@ to @mswin@, and my @RUBY_PLATFORM@ is

irb(main):026:0> RUBY_PLATFORM
=> "i386-mingw32"

I am running the "rubyinstaller":http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=42563 for windows.

This ticket is related to #1804.

As a workaround, I intend to replace @mswin@ with the above string in the @reposman.rb@ file, but a long-term solution should probably leverage the solution in #1804.
