+=head2 Win32 implementation
+
+The version of ext() which is executed under Win32 differs from the
+Unix-OS/2 version in several respects:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item *
+
+Input library and path specifications are accepted with or without the
+C<-l> and C<-L> prefices used by Unix linkers. C<-lfoo> specifies the
+library C<foo.lib> and C<-Ls:ome\dir> specifies a directory to look for
+the libraries that follow. If neither prefix is present, a token is
+considered a directory to search if it is in fact a directory, and a
+library to search for otherwise. The C<$Config{lib_ext}> suffix will
+be appended to any entries that are not directories and don't already
+have the suffix. Authors who wish their extensions to be portable to
+Unix or OS/2 should use the Unix prefixes, since the Unix-OS/2 version
+of ext() requires them.
+
+=item *
+
+Entries cannot be plain object files, as many Win32 compilers will
+not handle object files in the place of libraries.
+
+=item *
+
+If C<$potential_libs> is empty, the return value will be empty.
+Otherwise, the libraries specified by C<$Config{libs}> (see Config.pm)
+will be appended to the list of C<$potential_libs>. The libraries
+will be searched for in the directories specified in C<$potential_libs>
+as well as in C<$Config{libpth}>. For each library that is found, a
+space-separated list of fully qualified library pathnames is generated.
+You may specify an entry that matches C</:nodefault/i> in
+C<$potential_libs> to disable the appending of default libraries
+found in C<$Config{libs}> (this should be only needed very rarely).
+
+=item *
+
+The libraries specified may be a mixture of static libraries and
+import libraries (to link with DLLs). Since both kinds are used
+pretty transparently on the win32 platform, we do not attempt to
+distinguish between them.
+
+=item *
+
+LDLOADLIBS and EXTRALIBS are always identical under Win32, and BSLOADLIBS
+and LD_RUN_PATH are always empty (this may change in future).
