Sorry for the late reply. This isn't actually a real problem
as the XS part of D::PPP is only being used for testing. Yes,
it's being loaded if you load D::PPP, but you only do that to
generate ppport.h. So it's a non-issue, apart from the size
the DLL wastes on your disk. You can actually build D::PPP
with PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT if you set PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT=1 in
your environment. I'll consider making that the default if it
doesn't cause any trouble.
