That'd be my change. On my system, Perl provides a pod2man.bat,
which the build uses. I think pod2man pretty much just runs
perl on the perl script anyway. So if Perl is in your path,
this will work.

nmake/Windows will never recognise #!, and Windows won't execute
a file without a known extension anyway, I believe.
