perl v.5.10.0 compiled on windows with MinGW
This is the procedure which led to successful installation on windows.
I was inspired by a bug 21911.
1. Install GnuWin32 library packages freetype, gd, jpeg, libpng.
2. perl Makefile.PL --ignore_missing_gd MYEXTLIB=c:/gnu/GnuWin32/lib/
libgd.dll.a c:/gnu/GnuWin32/lib/libpng.dll.a c:/gnu/GnuWin32/lib/
libjpeg.dll.a c:/gnu/GnuWin32/lib/libfreetype.dll.a
3. Answer the prompt for libgd path: c:/gnu/GnuWin32/lib
and yes to all libs support.
Then dmake, dmake test and dmake install run ok.
Could be added to README.
