While I detest developing on Windows, when that is the target platform, that is
what I use to develop it, using Visual Studio C/C++ and (gulp) Basic,  or just a plain
editor and command line for Java. I (thankfully) don't do enough of it to 
warrant fooling with the cross-compiling stuff available. I just don't have 
the time to deal with all the little "gotcha's". I haven't done any Ruby stuff
at all on Windows. I'm sure others on this list will have better answers, more
in line with what you want, than I.
