One of our users here who likes to use Ruby was trying to use the cygwin 
distribution, and then tried to fetch some "ruby gems". His Ruby 
installation ended up getting corrupted with native (non-Cygwin) 
libraries being loaded for some of the ruby gems, causing all sorts of 
interesting problems (esp. in filename handling!)

Is there a specific Cygwin Ruby gems package, and a distribution 
location for Cygwin-specific ruby gems?
