I was wrong - it almost works with the One-Click Installer version. I
just didn't try hard enough.

The problem appears to be that it isn't picking up msvcrt-ruby18.lib
on the LINK step. It compiles when I copy the cl command line from the
error output and add the lib like so:

cl -nologo -LD  -MD -Zi -O2b2xg- -G6 -I
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 -o Inline_MyTest_cb89.so
Inline_MyTest_cb89.c  msvcrt-ruby18.lib -link /INCREMENTAL:no
/EXPORT:Init_Inline_MyTest_cb89

(with c:\ruby\lib added to the LIB environment variable) but how do I
get RubyInline to do this?

Any pointers anyone? (I'd love to play with this)
