Right, but how do I do it without having to be explicit? I'm trying to 
replace Win32API with win32/api (my own version) and it keeps trying to 
build it on OS X during the make phase.

I've got an extconf.rb and api.c file under ruby/ext/win32/api, which is 
  a similar layout to io/wait and its extconf.rb and wait.c files.

I've edited the Setup file to include a "#win32/api", but it still 
continues to try to compile it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
