You could try

set CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/dir
set LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/lib

If you're going to do this sort of stuff, I suggest you don't install 
using rubygems. Rather, use the setup.rb which comes inside the fcgi 
source tarball.

Googling for "ruby fcgi windows" turns up some interesting stuff, such 
as
http://www.napcsweb.com/howto/rails/deployment/railsonIISWithApacheFCGI.pdf
although it doesn't address how to get fcgi installed for Windows. I 
guess they are just using the pure-ruby version.

Finally: if you're installing a 0.8.9 version, that's someone's fork. 
The "official" fcgi is 0.8.8 (the one on rubyforge.org anyway). You 
could try contacting whoever forked the code for help.
