+preliminary *new* Win32 kephra starter/wrapper
+ * install MinGW and MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/)
+ * install Strawberry Perl (http://strawberryperl.com/), presumably to c:\strawberry. otherwise adapt Makefile since LDOPTS returned by ExtUtils::Embed are unusable
+ * "make" in MSYS shell should build kephra.exe
+
+TODO:
+ * display Perl errors in MessageBox
+ * link .manifest files as resources into the binary
+
+due to popular demand the starter might evolve into a generic Perl interpreter wrapper with support for reconfiguration without recompilation...
