I was able to get this gem to build on Windows (Win7 x64 to be precise)
by downloading the MinGW-based oneclick installer (RC1 as of now) and
the devkit that accompanies it and installing them... I then found the
necessary headers and libs needed to get the libxml-ruby gem to build
and packaged them up:

  http://www.mcgeecorp.com/downloads/win-install-libxml-ruby.zip ~760kb

Just unzip and run the ruby install script to build...

Note: the script assumes you installed Ruby to C:\Ruby ... you can also
pass an alternate install dir to the script:

  C:\Ruby19\bin\ruby install_libxml_gem.rb C:/Ruby19

HTH,
Tim
