Yes, that's how I expected it would work. Could a "which cpp.exe"
equivalent be out of the question? For Win32 or otherwise. The
non-Win32 just plows ahead if it sees cpp in Config.pm without
checking to see if its actually installed, leaving out the (more
common than you'd think) case of Perl (from a binary package) without
a C compiler installed.
I'll send along a patch to do just that.
