Yes, I'll duplicate it there.

All I was going to do was have, as part of InlineX::C2XS, a perl script 
named 'c2xs' (converted by pl2bat.bat to 'c2xs.bat' for Windows).
It would just check and parse the commandline arguments then, based on those 
arguments, make the appropriate call to InlineX::C2XS::c2xs().

Just like h2xs/h2xs.bat, perldoc/perldoc.bat, html2pod/html2pod.bat, etc., 
c2xs/c2xs.bat would be installed into perl/bin (when 'make install' is run 
for InlineX::C2XS).

I don't know exactly how to implement that yet but other modules do similar 
things - eg PDL has perldl/perldl.bat. I should be able to work out how this 
is achieved by studying the way that PDL goes about it.
