Description
I'd like to install ferret on a windows workstation. In the past, I've successfully installed it as version 0.11.5 on another windows box, but now it throws the 'nmake' error.
I've read the other tickets, and they say to install the win32 version of the gem, but do not say how.

Some googling reveals that perhaps version 0.11.5 will install correctly, but it does not.
