Obviously one problem is resources. Another is that the most-broadly "right"
way to compile extensions on Windows is to use VC6, which isn't necessarily
easy to get anymore if you don't already have it. (Please please, no one
start a threadjack along the lines of "I don't know what's wrong with your
extensions, but mine compile fine on Express 2005"!)

I remember vaguely that we discussed this here about a year ago. I offered
to set up a build farm for compiling RubyForge gems but no one bit.
