I was able to get Make_ming.mak to compile a native Windows

When I try to include Ruby I get the following errors:

I've been seeing this for a year with a Cygwin GCC build, starting
with the Ruby 1.9 series. Something changed so that Vim's build no
longer finds the necessary Ruby libraries, for me starting with
ruby.h. I've spent hours (one today!), but never could track it
down.
I think in my case it's not a problem of finding the libraries (or
includes) but that the .h files included for Ruby have "collisions"
with files already included by Cygwin's standard .h files, so the
compile errors out.
I did some Googling, and found that this problem doesn't only exist
with compiling Vim, and someone suggested that it's the fault of the
Ruby .h files, which should only be defining these things if they're
not already defined. If this is the case, I wonder if the Vim sources
could somehow be tweaked to work around this problem. My C is getting
increasingly rusty, and my competence was never beyond a beginner's
level anyway, so at this point I'm not really sure how to attempt it.
