It's copied from win32/config_H.vc -- see .\config.h target in 
win32/Makefile.

Ah.  I thought there was a bit of a parrot-or-the-egg problem there ;)

Indeed.  I'd forgotten the rest of what ponie's Configure.pl was doing.

So now I've copied the 3 .pmc's files into parrot/classes and tried 
building parrot again.  It complains that it can't find the perl header 
files -- perl5av.c #includes "EXTERN.h", "config.h" and "perl.h", but 
parrot presumably isn't being compiled with appropriate -I flags to find 
them.

I changed them all to "../../perl/<filename.h>".  Is that right, or 
should I have directed it towards the headers of the installed perl 
(i.e. the one that I ran parrot's Configure.pl with)?  It complained 
again, of course, because I haven't got a perl/config.h...

So then I copied perl/win32/config_H.vc to perl/config.h, but now it 
whines about missing arpa/inet.h which perl.h includes.  Grr.  It really 
isn't going to work unless an -I flag gets set properly somewhere when 
building parrot.

I see that parrot/classes has its own Makefile, so I reset the #include 
lines that I'd changed and instead appended " -I..\..\perl 
-I..\..\perl\win32 -I..\..\perl\win32\include" to the CFLAGS in it.

Now I get the mess at the foot of this mail.  I get much the same result 
if I use the "installed perl"s header files instead (by appending " 
-IC:/perl/lib/CORE" to the CFLAGS in parrot/classes' Makefile).

I'm at a loss what to do to fix this.  Looks like I won't be getting a 
ponie just yet :(
