I've just patched lib/Parrot/Makefile.PL to check for a Win32 platform,
and if so, use .obj for the default object extension. However I did it
simply by checking $^O for 'Win'. This is probably not as portable as it
could be, but a quick look through ExtUtils::MakeMaker didn't reveal a
variable that could be used for determining the proper extension.
The possible problem in lib/Parrot/PakFile2.xs is slightly different,
and is a 5.6.1 issue. Modifying Perl_croak("foo") to Perl_croak(aTHX_
"foo") works on both UNIX and Win32, but I'm not sure if that's the
correct approach, and if we're simply tickling a bug in the appropriate
Win32 build. This isn't a major bug, it just needs to be looked at by
someone with more experience in this area than I have.
