When mingw is used to build gvim with dynamic support for perl:
1) For older versions of ActivePerl, there is no
need to add -lperl58
The linker somehow knows that perl58 related
symbols that it cannot resolve will be resolved
at runtime via perl58.dll
2) For the latest ActivePerl, when build is done
without adding -lperl58
The linker somehow knows -- for almost all -- the
perl58 related symbols that it cannot resolve, they
will be resolved at runtime via perl58.dll
For some reason, the linker demands that two
particular symbols Perl_sv_2iv_flags and
Perl_newXS_flags be resolved at link time via
an explicit addition of -lperl58
So ActiveState is "exporting" Perl_sv_2iv_flags and
Perl_newXS_flags in a way that is different from the
way they export other symbols.
