Download the Win32 MinGW version of Ruby here:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/~eban/ruby/binaries/mingw/

and download the BDB (or other) extensions here:

http://www.ruby-lang.org/~eban/ruby/binaries/mingw/ext/

they extract into /usr/...

you can move the extracted files after the fact.

I use this version and it works great!
