shouldn't mingw32 and mswin32 be the same platform?
when I run buildr --version, I get the following error

Hello,
Seems you forced the installation of
x86-mswin32gem on ax86-mingw32version of Ruby.In theory, both mswin32 and mingw32 share the same C runtime (MSVCRT) but both platforms are different, and the differences can be seen inside
rbconfig.rbfile, which contain platform and compiler specific details.They cannot be treated the same from that perspective.
From what I can see on Buildr dependencies:
http://rubygems.org/gems/buildr/versions/1.4.6
http://rubygems.org/gems/buildr/versions/1.4.6-x86-mswin32
The gem dependencies seems to be the same, except for win32console (coloring) which has been deprecated:
http://blog.mmediasys.com/2010/11/24/we-all-love-colors/
Please contact the gem authors and inform about this and indicate that RubyInstaller (the version of Ruby you seems to be using) uses MinGW which results in x86-mingw32 as platform for it's gems and the deprecation about win32console.
