Tk804.030 should work with a 32bit *standard* Strawberry Perl 5.12.3.0

The *portable* Strawberry Perl 5.12.3.0 has some problems with the
bundled Config.pm which prevents a successful compilation of Tk. A fix
is proposed in http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68937

Compiling with a 64bit Strawberry Perl works, but some (tix-related)
tests are failing. See
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=71718

Older notes:

Tk804.028_501 should compile out-of-the box with Strawberry Perl
5.8.8.3 and 5.10.0.3.

Older stuff:

Previous Tk versions do not compile under Windows Vista, possibly
because of file permission problems.

Strawberry Perl's default CPAN.pm configuration in 5.8.8.2 and
5.10.0.2 has the setting

     makepl_arg         [LIBS=-LC:\strawberry\c\lib     INC=-IC:\strawberry\c\include]

This breaks the Tk build (and also other CPAN modules). The "fix" is
to change the setting to the usual default:

     o conf makepl_arg ""
