Windows cookbook borks on Unix systems because of the Ruby 1.9 patches

    Chef 0.10.4, SLES 11

Description

The ruby_19_patches.rb unconditionally requires win32/open3 which is definitely not present on non-Windows systems. Thus, if that cookbook is merely present, even if it's not used everything breaks down unconditionally on Linux. However, the mere presence shouldn't break things. Valid use-cases are a simple checkout of git://github.com/opscode/cookbooks for a working basis or when using tools like Librarian which pull all requirements unconditionally.

Simply checking if we are on Windows before trying the patch solves the issue. A pull request is forthcoming.
