Very often I find extconf.rb to fail early because of path/location
differences in compiler environments ( mingw to vc++ ). So a full ruby
build is needed for compiling extensions. Once that is done, full binary
compatibility with the vc++ 7.1 batteries included install very often
just happens right.
