the RubyInstaller is now a RubyForge project, and you can download all of
the source and build scripts from cvs at:

   http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller/

You will need MSVC, though. I've read postings that there is a free version
of the msvc 6.0 compiler bundled with some unrelated package that can be
downloaded from MS. I haven't verified or tried this out, but its on my
to-do list.
