Ben,

FWIW I still haven't succeeded in getting Ruby 1.9 work on Windows
with VS2012 yet, despite making some headway (see
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1487225). For
recent release testing I've used 1.8.7 and VS2008. I plan to dive
back into this again sometime this summer, but not in the short term.
