The DLL distributed must have changed, but it was still called 191. Having a .h file in a directory with a version that differs from the distributed version is not going to help anyone, just make things more complicated since there are two versions to specify. I'm trying not to call this a bug, but I would consider it. > The official (MRI) Ruby page points Windows users to: > http://rubyinstaller.org/ > > However, it's compiled against MinGW.

When building with MSVC I assume we do need the msvcrt version of the .dll. Anyway, it's just a hassle to do the renaming, it does appear to work.
