Thanks for clarifying the problem. To follow up, I can confirm that
buildr installs and works with:

    gem install buildr --platform mswin32

Maybe that's what you should put in your installation guide? Contrary
to what I said in my first mail, with this fix the ruby installer
devkit is not necessary because rubygems installs the binary gems as
you intended. It might also be worth mentioning that you need Ruby
1.8, not Ruby 1.9, because the ruby installer page lists both without
guidance. Users might tend to choose the higher number ;)
