+Installing Cygwin with Ruby is easy enough.  Avoid installing Ruby in Windows as well because it results in a mulch of confusion further down the line.
 Gems is pure ruby, so not that hard to install from within Cygwin:
-  * Download gems from RubyForge: [[http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/]]
+  * Download gems from RubyForge: [[http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems/]] (rubygems-x.x.x.tgz)
+  * In the unpacked directory, run:
+<code ruby>
+ruby setup.rb install
+gem update --system
+</code>
+(Note: recent versions of rubygems won't install with older versions of ruby.)
