Summary: Include mactime with Windows binaries

Initial Comment:
mactime could be included with the Windows binaries. Some installation issues need to be figured out because the 'make' process currently locates perl and adds that to the top of the mactime script. 

It was suggested that PAR could help...  I haven't looked into it yet.

then I can make it happen.  For example, what needs to happen for the
script
to find Perl.exe? Does the user have to edit the first line of the file

point to their installation?  Do they need to run it as "perl mactime"?

Generally speaking, yes - it's up to the Perl distribution to insert
itself into %PATH%, and they typically do a good job of that.  The
ubiquitous "#!" from UNIX is relatively meaningless in that world,
IIRC, so unless the user has also associated .pl scripts with perl.exe
(another thing I've seen done), you'll have to invoke Perl first.

Steps to make this happen:
- update the release process to set the version in the script
- Update the doc on using mactime on windows.
