I noticed the situations when John asked about this last week at
http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=637296 and I started to email you,
but then got distracted. I'm glad someone ended up getting in
touch with you.
You should be able to just remove the win32/ext/Win32/ files and include
the win32/ext/Win32 files from maint and change MANIFEST accordingly.
Pedantically, it would also be nice to use the Configure patch in
http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/30733
Win32API::File is still in libwin32, since even for MSWin32 builds
it won't move to the core till 5.8.9, correct?
Thanks for all your work on cygwin perl.
