gem does not install on windows

Detailed description
Hi,

`gem install ruby-opengl`

on a windows system this tries to build a C extension, i dont think this is the expected behaviour?

Everyone I have spoken to has this problem in windows.

Addendum:

Even if you manually install or force the old version, there's
still the "snprintf"
bug (http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2
8651&group_id=2103&atid=8185) that prevents it from working
with the "RubyInstaller" distribution of Ruby.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it's been a year since
my last post, that's all I'm sayin'...

Hi, banister! :D

It's due to the fact that the latest version has no win32 gem
in the rubygems.org repository. If you specify the previous version
(0.60.0) or install manually, it works. But, if you install manually,
and then install anything that requires it (like gosu) it tries
to compile again (because it's not the latest version).

This bug could be solved in seconds by copying a file from one
server to another, but it's four months old... What's up with
the maintainers?
