To build any extension, the steps are essentially:
$ perl makefile.pl
$ mmk
$ mmk test
$ mmk install
The only difference from Unix here is that I ignored filename case
and used "mmk" instead of "make." (If you have MMS that works just
as well.) This assumes a complete and successful installation of
Perl as well as Rdb (or any other external library an extension
depends on).
