Why not use ANSI C and free Microsoft Platform SDK?
Every C compiler would "understand" ANSI C.

# Good point what we want now is an official way to compile 
# ruby for windows if possible with free tools (I really 
# wouldn't like to have to buy VC to compile for
# windows) so we can be reasonably sure that windows compiled 
# extension can be distributed. Right now they are distributed
