Couldn't it just depend on a C compiler with configurable settings - Ruby
configuration seems to know about this.
Wrt. security - that could be optional if it's a matter of running Windows
or not.
If it has to be gcc, MingW works fine and doesn't use Cygwin. Cygwin is not
nice to have running by comparison.
