This machine has installed:

Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0
    "     Visual Studio 2003
    "     Visual Studio 2005
    "     Visual Studio 2008


And no combination of command lines will get the gems to compile, so I 
have no idea how to get it to work. (Any version later than 2003 will 
bomb with errors about compiler switches that have been deprecated ... 
if it's not one thing...)

Thankfully this is just my work Winders box, and most of my real 
Rail/Ruby playing is done on OS X :)  It just works.
