Or you can make a new directory and run configure.bat there.

  c:\ruby\src\ruby-1.8.5> mkdir i386-mswin32
  c:\ruby\src\ruby-1.8.5> chdir i386-mswin32
  c:\ruby\src\ruby-1.8.5\i386-mswin32> ..\win32\configure.bat

U1077 should be an error from nmake.exe.

%INCLUDE% and %LIB% will be set by a batch file installed with
VC.  But the config.h generated by MSVC8 cannot be used with
One-Click Installer which is compiled with MSVC6.
