nmake and the pure Perl make (its on CPAN) will work. Also dmake. GNU make
probably won't because the Win32 Makefile is very [dn]make specific.
In general, MakeMaker doesn't care how Perl was configured with regard to
make *except* for MakeMaker's own tests where it relies on $ENV{MAKE} and
$Config{make}.
