OK, I've tried it with snapshot.tar.gz and Borland 5.5.

There are millions of compiler warnings!  And then it trips over because it
can't find 'byacc'.  The Borland README includes the following:

<quote>
    Note: building ruby requires following commands.
     * make
     * bcc
     * tlib
     * ilink
</quote>

Perhaps it should read
    Note: building ruby requires following commands.
     * make
     * bcc32
     * tlib
     * ilink32
     * byacc

Guess I'll use Cygwin's byacc.
