Bug #1086: instruby.rb is broken on default Win64 install
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1086

Author: Nico Rieck
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [x64-mswin64_90]

instruby.rb conditionally includes 'win32.h' in the header files when installing under Windows. It checks among others for 'mswin32':

  unless RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin32|mingw|bccwin32/
    noinst << "win32.h"
  end

Having compiled Ruby with VC9's 64bit compiler (without any issues) my platform is 'x64-mswin64_90' so this breaks and prevents from installing any extensions.

Grepping through Ruby's lib directory shows a few other occurences of 'mswin32' so this might not be the only bad spot.
