Comment(by nwellnhof):
The problem with %Config is that it's completely unreliable on platforms
where more than one C compiler is commonly used. Especially on Windows. I
don't think we will ever have a reliable build system on Windows if we use
%Config as default.
The default compiler and linker flags should simply depend on the compiler
with some additional tweaks by platform. I don't see a problem with that.
I don't know of any other open source project that relies on Perl5's
Config to build.
