pod2man.bat is part of the standard ActiveState Perl installation.
I don't understand why you wouldn't have it (and hence why we
can't depend on it).

Further, where is $UNIX_BIN defined?
Before I changed this in a previous patch, it had the path to
Perl hard-coded, from memory. That is probably just as good
as a non-standard environment variable. config.nmake is intended
to be customised on each build system.

$TOP will be hard coded, though?

Is it set on Win95/95/ME?
