Hmm, I'll check my build scripts again for the new update, 1.7 only.
I use this new build system to test all the older and newer releases also,
the cygwin release version is only picked up on ./build all

perl is different. 5.8.8 is too old, 5.8.9 is better, but our 5.10.x and
dave's 5.10-1 rc is best so far.
Only Dave and blead is still missing the important
"Bug#55162 File::Spec::case_tolerant performance" patch
I think I have some insight on p5p.

No,
It's just the wrong eventloop configuration.
A simple fix, but it needs at least a day to dig through it again and test it.
I mailed Slaven to do that, but he also had no time yet.
