Tim, IronRuby itself is (or will be) a complete ruby implementation. You do not need to have CRuby installed. You can use an existing ruby installation to build IronRuby using rake, as you are building via Visual Studio you do not require this.
As for the last part, I'm not sure what issues you are referring to, I do most of my day to day ruby via cygwin, I also have win32 Ruby (via the one-click installer) for testing the rakefile for IronRuby..
