When trying to install watir on some fresh VM's I'm getting the
following in response (this is for both older 1.9.1 and the latest
2.0.x

ERROR: Error installing watir:
The 'ffi' native gem requires installed build tools.
I can get around the last item with FFI by simply installing the
devkit, or since it's also needed for the Selenium-Webdriver gem if I
install Watir-webdriver (and it seems to want 1.0.9) it seems to work
just fine if I first force an install of the older version of FFI via
gem install ffi -v 1.0.9
However I'm unsure how to get around the warning message regarding the
S4T-Utils, or if that's something which can just be safely ignored???
Anyone know what the story is with that warning?
