+# 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...
