Strawberry Perl aims to provide a fully-features Perl environment for Windows 
users, including the ability to compile XS modules, which are written in C. 
The standard Perl module system uses makefiles for build and test purposes, 
thus Strawberry Perl needs to provide both make and gcc (it apparently comes 
with a whole host of other software too, including mysql and even the GNU 
Fortran compiler).

It would be nice if the only software needed to build EPICS on Windows were an 
installation of Strawberry Perl, but from Josh's experience it sounds like the 
versions they provide are not sufficient.  That is a little strange given that 
the version numbers they discuss in their release notes are new enough, but I 
can quite believe that the tools are not configured as we expect them to be.
