As a refactoring nut who hates code duplication, I would prefer 
something like this (untested):

   if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /win32$/
     rdoc = 'rdoc.bat'
   else
     rdoc = 'rdoc'
   end
   sh %{#{rdoc} -o #{@rdoc_dir} #{opts} #{@rdoc_files}}

I haven't looked at the code, but is there some central place that holds 
all the platform-specific stuff? If so, the setting of rdoc could take 
place there (at which point it might become $rdoc or $rdoc_cmd.

Cheers,
