For 5.10, sure.  But for 5.8.x will Alias agree to bundle IPC::Cmd in
Strawberry?  And does it work reliably under Activestate?  Activestate
passes IPC::Cmd on Win32 in its PPM, but it actually skips most tests:

http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-windows/windows-5.8/IPC-Cmd-0.40.txt

Just things to consider.  I'd really rather not see a big punt for
Win32 users since part of the reason for M::B in the first place is to
be able to build modules without relying on having make available as
on Win32.

(Of course, we've seen with Strawberry that it's often just better for
users to provide make and be done with it.)
