Subject:

Window on Windows

When testing Alien::LibGumbo on Windows, a window appears asking which program to use to open autogen.sh. It is inconvenient for cpantesters. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Add this to Build.PL die "OS unsupported: sh is missing" if $^O eq "MSWin32"; -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

This PR may resolve this issue: https://github.com/ruz/Alien-LibGumbo/pull/3 Many Alien::Base distros will actually work on Windows via Alien::MSYS if the upstream package supports the platform, so long as the AB based dist uses %c instead of %pconfigure (this is the default if not otherwise specified by the Build.PL). So it is better IMHO to update the offending distributions rather than disabling support for windows.
