Here's a patch that does the minimal amount of work necessary to tell
ExtUtils::MakeMaker how to build Parrot::Embed from a compiled but
uninstalled Parrot. It works on Linux; my hope is that it will work much better on Windows.
Just tried it, and...

Your perl and your Config.pm seem to have different ideas about the
architecture they are running on.
Perl thinks: [lib]
Config says: [MSWin32-x86-multi-thread]
This may or may not cause problems. Please check your installation of perl
if you have problems building this extension.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for libparrot0A)

Stop.
But I don't think your module is to blame. PPM went and installed
ExtUtils::CBuilder in
"C:\TEMP\perl-----------------------------------------please-run-the-install-script---------------------------
-------------\lib\", which tells me that something is REALLY messed up
somewhere in my Perl installation. Why or since when, I've no idea. So I
guess I'd best try re-installing that and I'll give this another go and
let you know.
Thanks,
