When attempting to update to v1.11.7 on Windows I get the following error:

PS C:\Users\Landon Abney> gem update

It looks like this is assuming the git command is available when installing, which is a bit odd as no other gem has required that so far...

Tried again from a shell that had git available, that is indeed the problem.

One can say the issue is that the gem wants to install its extra man pages using the Rakefile.

You can see it being called the extension.

If we'd skip that bit in the gemspec, the extension bit, which names the Rakefile, on your platform - it'd be able to install, I believe.

This has been changed to not use the git binary.
