Ok, it's not that simple :-(

I am using cygwin32 (actually, only bash in order to have a decent
shell under Windows too).

Once you have got a working perl2exe with ActivePerl, and a working
bash you can install Big Sister from source, most simply on a
Unix/Linux box like

	make DEST=/tmp/bigsis EXEC=/bigsis

Then copy /tmp/bigsis into C:\bigsis of your Windows box. Copy
the makebinary script as well.

Now start a shell (bash), change directory to /bigsis and run
makebinary. If you are lucky you should end up with a compiled Big
Sister version after a while.

Best regards,
Tom
