RE: libwin32-perl-0.191 (ready for upload and testing)

Hi Gerrit,

Thanks so much for testing my package! What a mess :)

I'll take care of these issues:

* empty /etc/postinstall (also package should probably not list
directories unless they are actually created).

* change install path to:
usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/auto/... and
usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/... and remove unnecessary files that get
installed there

* remove binaries and Makefiles from patch (except for new binaries,
like .ico, .bmp and such.)

* As soon as I figure out how to sanely do multi source -> one package
bundling and patching, I'll also split out Win32::GUI and the patch for
it. I sent a patch to the win32-gui-hackers list as well.

* fix "conf" in build script

* check the hangup with CYGWIN=case:strict or unset it in the hint file
