Description
Some folks need to deploy Ruby applications on Windows (with native Windows libraries), so the ruby docker-library should support a windows base image. The python base images for windows are based on windowsservercore which is enormous, but it could probably copy everything over to a nano image with a multi-stage build. I've done that with my Ruby base image.
DevKit includes bash, so we can probably do all the same setup at the other ruby images in bash.

Define the Windows base-image scope and confirm that the resulting Ruby images support deployment with native Windows libraries.
