Please ask the gem author to use rake-compiler to generate native
Windows gems during the release process:

There are several examples of other gem authors using rake-compiler to
release gems:

Using that tool they will be able to generate binaries for Windows
without you needed to fight and resolve the obsolete VC6/Compiling
extensions war.
