Ruby 2.0 fails to build under mswin with VC (2008 - 2012) with link errors

in order to solve some other errors we were having some edit were made

1. win32/Makefile.sub:
   • changed RUBY_SO_NAME to be without msvcrXXX prefix
   • remove -debug flag
2. ext/Setup
   • removed all extensions except win32api, socket and zlib
3. ext
   • add win32api extensions folder

commands run
..\ruby-2.0.0-p0\win32\configure.bat --target=i386-mswin32 --with-static-linked-ext --disable-win95 --disable-install-doc --so-name=ruby200
nmake

attached are txt file of the output from nmake and the configure.bat

[Ryexander (Benjamin Powers)]
