             Remove temporary clean-up from Win32 makefiles
             
             Change 22501 temporarily added some clean-up to the Win32 makefiles
             which was only meant to stay until cpan rt #5616 was fixed.  It is
             now fixed (in EU-MM 6.22, which in turn has been in blead for a
             while now), so these hacks are no longer required.
             
             This change is also good for maint, which currently contains EU-MM
             6.17, which didn't create the blibdirs.exists files in question
             anyway.

             doesn't support the .UPDATEALL attribute that was used to fix dmake.

             re-runs when it didn't need to, and 7 times over at that!  This change

             Doing the strnEQ char by char for 2 and 3 character strings

             From: Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes <sthoenna@efn.org>

             [ 23785]
             Fix Win32 build problem caused by change 23757
             
             Change 23757 added a glob() call to win32/FindExt.pm.  That code is
             run by miniperl.exe when making the ..\config.sh target, but
             miniperl.exe is built with -D PERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB so it requires
             perlglob.exe to do the glob().  perlglob.exe has been built, but is
             in the top-level of the source tree so is not found when miniperl.exe
             is executed from within the win32/ sub-directory.
             
             This was causing smokes to fail on t/lib/commonsense.t because the
             "extensions" field in lib/Config_heavy.pl only contained
             "threads/shared" as a result of the glob() not finding anything.
             
             Manual builds had been working fine for me because I had an installed
             perl in my PATH so perlglob.exe was being found there instead!

             cc and ld themselves always get replaced with correct values anyway

             correct ~keyword~, namely ~cc~, not ~CC~, otherwise they do not get set

             Disable PERL_MALLOC and DEBUG_MSTATS in win32/makefile.mk by default
             and force PERL_MALLOC off if USE_IMP_SYS is on
             
             This brings makefile.mk into line with Makefile in this regard
             
             (PERL_MALLOC cannot currently be used with USE_IMP_SYS, e.g. see:
             http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2004-07/msg00465.html
             so it is sensible to enforce this, and to not have the default set
             to a configuration that isn't allowed)

             When %ENV has been turned into a non-magical hash after a
             glob assignment, TAINT_ENV() may dump core because it
             assumes $ENV{PATH} is magical. Fix this ; add a test to
             verify that the PATH is still checked for taintedness.

             Add a new taint error, "%ENV is aliased to %s".
             This error is thrown when taint checks are enabled and
             when *ENV has been aliased, so that %ENV has no env-magic
             anymore. (see bug [perl #24291].)

             Fix Win32 breakage caused by change 23610
             
             Simply skip the offending tests on Win32.  There is no sense in testing
             that $Config dir entries appear in @INC because the $Config entries
             relate to where perl.exe will be installed (as per INST_DRV/INST_TOP in
             win32/Makefile), whereas @INC entries are dynamic, based on where
             perlXX.dll is currently located.

             [ 23455]
             Since strlcat/strlcpy are not argument/return value compatible

             Add placeholders for the new strlcat and strlcpy entries in
             config.sh, to ensure that the config.h generated for cross-
             compilation will still work.
