This is what I get:

eshakor@drww01 ~
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]

eshakor@drww01 ~
$ gem install SystemTimer
bash: /cygdrive/c/Ruby/bin/gem: 
D:/Users/Luis/projects/oss/oci/installer2-trunk/
ruby/bin/ruby.exe^M: bad interpreter: No medium found

No idea why it is looking in that path for ruby.exe. My path:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/Java/
jdk1.6.0_14/bin:/cygdrive/c/Ruby/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WI
NDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/TortoiseSVN/bi
n:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 
5.0/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files
/Microsoft.NET/SDK/v1.1/Bin

So I go to where the ruby.exe is located and explicitly pointing out the 
gem.bat and get:

eshakor@drww01 /cygdrive/c/Ruby/bin
$ ./gem.bat install SystemTimer
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing SystemTimer:

It cannot find command cl. So no clue what to do now... any ideas?
