The windows.h file already defines a "boolean" type, so that would
explain the error.  Try adding this to the extconf.rb file:

have_type("boolean")

Then, within rmagick.h, surround line 114 with "ifndef HAVE_TYPE" and
"endif".

I don't know if that's the only issue, but it should solve that one at
least.
