 See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there.
 This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the
 semantics.

OOvveerrrriiddddeenn mmeetthhooddss ddllssyymmss xs_dlsyms_ext On Win32, is “.def”.

 replace_manpage_separator
     Changes the path separator with .

 mmaayybbee__ccoommmmaanndd
     Since Windows has nothing as simple as an executable bit, we check
     the file extension.

     The PATHEXT env variable will be used to get a list of extensions
     that might indicate a command, otherwise .com, .exe, .bat and .cmd
     will be used by default.

 iinniitt__DDIIRRFFIILLEESSEEPP
     Using \ for Windows, except for "gmake" where it is /.

 init_tools
     Override some of the slower, portable commands with Windows specific
     ones.

 init_others
     Override the default link and compile tools.

     LDLOADLIBS's default is changed to $Config{libs}.

     Adjustments are made for Borland's quirks needing -L to come first.

 init_platform
     Add MM_Win32_VERSION.

 platform_constants
 specify_shell
     Set SHELL to $ENV{COMSPEC} only if make is type 'gmake'.

 constants
     Add MAXLINELENGTH for dmake before all the constants are output.

 special_targets
     Add .USESHELL target for dmake.

 static_lib_pure_cmd
     Defines how to run the archive utility

 dynamic_lib
     Methods are overridden here: not dynamic_lib itself, but the utility
     ones that do the OS-specific work.

 extra_clean_files
     Clean out some extra dll.{base,exp} files which might be generated by
     gcc.  Otherwise, take out all *.pdb files.

 init_linker
 perl_script
     Checks for the perl program under several common perl extensions.

 quote_dep
 xs_obj_opt
     Override to fixup -o flags for MSVC.

 pasthru
     All we send is -nologo to nmake to prevent it from printing its
     damned banner.

 arch_check (override)
     Normalize all arguments for consistency of comparison.

 oneliner
     These are based on what command.com does on Win98.  They may be wrong
     for other Windows shells, I don't know.

 cd  dmake can handle Unix style cd'ing but nmake (at least 1.5) cannot.
     It wants:

         cd dir1\dir2
         command
         another_command
         cd ..\..

 max_exec_len
     nmake 1.50 limits command length to 2048 characters.

 os_flavor
     Windows is Win32.

 dbgoutflag
     Returns a CC flag that tells the CC to emit a separate debugging
     symbol file when compiling an object file.

 cflags
     Defines the PERLDLL symbol if we are configured for static building
     since all code destined for the perl5xx.dll must be compiled with the
     PERLDLL symbol defined.

 make_type
     Returns a suitable string describing the type of makefile being
     written.
