Are you using a Rails application to test? It only happens for me in 
Rails views, not in irb or regular Ruby scripts.

I just installed the Cygwin version of Ruby to test that combination, 
and it works fine running WEBrick from Cygwin's Ruby. No compile errors. 
So it's apparently a problem with Microsoft compilers only. At this 
point, I'm considering building Ruby using mingw just to get this 
working.

That doesn't address the problem of it not working in the official 
mswin32 binary release of Ruby. From a maintenance standpoint, it's 
pretty important to me that this get cleared up :)

Thanks for looking into it, David.
