Insert following line before !INCLUDE line in Makefile created
by configure.bat.

CFLAGS = -nologo -DNT=1 -ML -Zi -O2b2x -G5

While CFLAGS is defaulted to use `-MD' in win32/Makefile.sub
for VC 5.0 or later, msvcrt.dll in VC 4.0 doesn't have/export
__pioinfo needed by ruby.  So you should link with libc.lib
instead of msvcrt.lib.
