When I go to install sqlite3-ruby on Windows XP, I am faced with a list
of version numbers and version types (mswin or rb):

Select which gem to install for your platform (i386-mswin32)
1. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (mswin32)
2. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (ruby)

You can think of that as mswin32=Windows, ruby=Everything but Windows. The mswin32 releases often have precompiled binaries.

Unless you have reason to do otherwise, go with the highest rev number. If you're on Windows, 1.1.0 (mswin32).
