title: (Embedded?) Ruby/Python, existing XAMPP stack
body: <p>I've been plugging away for about a year and a bit now with PHP on my local XAMPP install. I've learned very much, but am now needing to expand my knowledge base with concern to other languages.</p>
  
  <p>So, I figured I'd try tackling Ruby/Python.</p>
  
  <p>Now, since I'm sticking to web application development, I would assume embedded Ruby/Python would be the way to go, transitionally, moving from PHP.</p>
  
  <p>I have an existing XAMPP install on my Windows 7 x64 machine, which I'd like to pile Ruby and Python on top of. However, I'm a bit confused with how to do this (<em>read, if I can do this</em>)</p>
  
  <p>I want to move to the newer XAMPP release (to 1.7.4 from... whatever I'm running) anyways, and I've downloaded the RubyInstaller 1.9.2, but I figured I'd ask for some insight before I go and break something.</p>
  
  <p>So, how do I go about configuring a XAMPP install to support embedded Ruby/Python?</p>
