Building bleadperl (minperl) fails completely under VC7

Hi All,

Somewhere between now and the earlier 5.9 builds the build process under
Win32 VC7 (or VC6) has broken completely.

A straight out of the box (er rsynch) fails build with the following:

        link -subsystem:console -out:..\miniperl.exe
@C:\DOCUME~1\yorton\LOCALS~1\Temp\nmF6.tmp
   Creating library ..\miniperl.lib and object ..\miniperl.exp

Stop.

Sorry if this mail contains HTML, unfortunately I cant do anything about it.
(Believe me. Ive tried.)

ps This would account for why my smoke testing fails _everything_. :-)
