How is all of this going to effect building on
Windows/ReactOS with Mingw? I have had a bitch of a
time getting Mingw+MSYS+Perl working and would hate to see
it become a bigger requirement. If
-mno-cygwin worked right I dont guess it would be as big of
a deal because then we could still
build WINE-Mingw under cyg but atm some import is still
hosing things up and forcing importation
of cygwin1.dll so the recommended setup is just Mingw+MSYS.
Yes, we should try to move away from the Perl requirement for regression tests. It was considered OK to depend on it because the framework itself was based on Perl, but now that all tests are done in C anyway we should probably get rid of it.
I see no reason to get rid of it.
If people doesn't have Perl installed just don't run them. But then most people probabably have Perl installed anyway...
