BackgrounDRb 1.0はWindowsで動くのか？

Rails2.1 plugin

ここ最近ずーっと悩んでいたのだが、決定的なサイトを見つけた。

Q:Thanks Hemant for the 1.0 release. However, does this release of BackgrounDRb work on Windows? I remember that 0.2 version had some issues with Windows.
A:It still sadly doesn’t work on Windows. Mainly because of fork() and UNIX Sockets.
　
　
Q:Hemant, I just upgraded to the 1.0.1 release it looks great from what I’ve read, but sadly I cannot run it under windows. Is there any hope on the horizon of getting a windows version, or should I look into other solutions? The main problem from what I can see is the dependency on UNIXSocket.
A:Matt, I will love to have Windows support. But it requires non-trivial amount of work. But, don’t give up hope, I am currently working to get test cases and other stuff going, I need to settle down a bit, before starting work on Windows version.

ということで、forkが使えないWindowsでは動かない。

バージョンが上がって動かなくなるなんて･･･悲しい。配布元のFAQに掲載しておいて欲しいものだ。
