Subject: [ruby-core:21448] [PATCH] Allow building ruby with mingw

---
Hi, recently I've been trying to compile Ruby 1.8.7 with mingw and was
surprised that mkmf.rb fails to create Makefile that would work with
msys make. The reason for this is mainly VPATH that gets separated by
semicolon. And when I finally install Ruby the same happens for any
extension, only there's one more problem: paths would be something like:

  C:/Ruby/...;...

and msys make chokes on that even worse, unable to find ruby.h.

So this makes me really wonder how people are building Ruby with mingw and
avoid this problem? Are you using something else beside msys? Would my
patch break things for you then?
