intertwingly

It turns out that the hardest part about porting Ruby DB2 from Unbuntu to Windows was getting a compilation environment set up.  These instructions contained the key.

Additionally, it appears that the tests I based this port on have been updated, but resynching is a problem for another day.  Reverting the tests back to the beginning of the year is a simple matter of executing the following in the pecl/ibm_db2/tests directory:

cvs update -D 2006/01/01

Once that was out of the way, the changes were rather mundane:

-ldb2	=>	db2cli.lib
make	=>	nmake
.so	=>	.dll
open(foo)	=>	open(foo,'rb')
\r\n	=>	\n

The result works on both Ubuntu and Windows XP.
