[Rails] Re: Two developers, one on unix and one on windows

[Steve Koppelman]

Why are you using FastCGI for development mode? What's wrong with 
WEBrick or, at most, CGI? Doesn't development against FastCGI force you 
to restart servers or processes a whole lot more than you'd otherwise 
need to?

If you don't need FastCGI for development, your problem disappears 
because Windows ignores it under those circumstances and you can simply 
set it to the Unixy path on both platforms.

If you've got a good reason for doing development against FCGI, I 
suppose you could have a second dispatch.fcgi called somthing else (e.g. 
dispatch-win32.fcgi) and refer to that in the webserver conf on your 
windows boxes and refer to the original one on the Unixy boxes. No?
