As I suspected, there is indeed something wrong with the bundled API_test.dll.
If I compile the DLL myself with VC6, then t/00_API.t starts to pass.
The api-test/Makefile didn't work with VC6 either, but instead of trying to
fix it I just build the DLL manually (debugging version):
cl /Zi /LD /MD /DAPI_TEST_EXPORTS API_test.cpp /link /def:API_test.def
It still fails test 6 (and 7) of t/01_Struct.t:

The address in x->c is not valid, so it throws an exception when it
tries to print the string.
I'll try to look into it some more next week, but maybe you have
some quick idea what the problem might be.
