in thread XS, MakeMaker, and all those other dreaded words

OK, little session where I try all three copies of Perl and both of my make programs. Using the Cygwin toolkit does get it to build, but trying to use the module crashes.

The three Perls I have are ActivePerl 5.6.1, Perl 5.7.2 (patched to @13686), and Perl 5.6.1 as built for Cygwin.

    That OBJECT line doesn't look right. I think that the libparrot.lib file should go in the LIBS line somehow (although as this is Win32 I'm somewhat out of my depth here :-).

    If you have to specify the OBJECT key it needs to include the .obj that will get created from the .xs file. Right now you are telling the makefile builder to ignore any .obj files and only use ../../libparrot.lib.
