All patches are applied in the perl-current. And perl-current builds without 
a hitch (well almost but, yknow!).

Probably worth a mention that the make process sets PATH so any "Program 
Files" like entries with spaces in them should be removed from the PATH. 
That seems more simple than placing quotes around the entire PATH anyway.

Build on Win2K.
