This list intended for GNU Emacs, also read

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RubyMode

It’s included in Emacs 23 and is also available via ELPA. However, those 
copies have no
guarantees of backwards-compatibility, so if you’re having trouble with 
it on an older Emacs
version or XEmacs, you can use the copy that’s included with Ruby, which 
attempts to be
highly compatible.

GNU Emacs 23.2.1 included in latest Cygwin 1.7.6
