Maybe this can interest you: if you look at mondrian IDE, which should 
be now free/open sourced, you may notice it uses a native file selector 
on win32 even if it is using FOX, thanks to win32.rb.

It is extremely simple to take the file selection class and import it in 
freeride, since it basically just overrides FXFileDialog (IIRC).
I did it for my own use in the past, but I never contributed it to FR 
since I'm not sure about the legal issues.
