Hello over there.

It seems #1127 is not working as expected.

After looking at lib/mkmf.rb, it seems that one small piece of code is
interfering.

See the inlined patch to fix it:

Index: lib/mkmf.rb

--- lib/mkmf.rb	(revision 23100)
+++ lib/mkmf.rb	(working copy)

         vpath.each {|p| p.sub!(/.*/, '$(shell cygpath -u \&)')}
       end
-    when 'msdosdjgpp', 'mingw32'
+    when 'msdosdjgpp'
       CONFIG['PATH_SEPARATOR'] = ';'
     end
   end

After applied that patch, I can successfully go beyond Win32API
extension compilation. yay!

$ sandbox\ruby_build\ruby.exe -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-27 patchlevel 367) [i386-mingw32]

That change is needed for me to update One-Click Installer builds.

Please consider it before release 1.8.6.

Thank you,
