Well, yes, the versions of Ruby packaged in the current RubyInstallers
are compiled using the MinGW toolchain. It's pretty cool how easy it
is to compile different versions of Ruby in Windows:

Then there's the DevKit, which is a MinGW environment designed for
compiling Ruby C extensions (and other things):
