Re: plperl win32

Magnus, why is this reassignment needed, basically the 'else' part:

! ifeq ($(PORTNAME), win32)
! xperl_archlibexp=$(subst \,/,$(perl_archlibexp))
! xperl_privlibexp=$(subst \,/,$(perl_privlibexp))
! perl_embed_ldflags=-L $(xperl_archlibexp)/CORE -lperl58
! else
! xperl_archlibexp=$(perl_archlibxep)
! xperl_privlibexp=$(perl_privlibexp)
! endif
