Perl 5.8.0 almost builds on Win95, command.com, MinGW, dmake.
("almost" means that you need a small patch because MM autputs
some spaces instead of tabs in makefiles, other than that it builds,
but hangs in the test suite (it would probably work, too,
but I use Win95 just to play RayMan, so I don't know...)
