The sed substitution doesn't work properly - the backslashes in the path
of PERL_EXE are interpreted (by sed I guess) along with the characters
which follow.  Sorry, I've no clue where to start fixing this without
switching from nmake to GNU make which is probably too radical...

Build error message is here:

Ah, poo.  If I can't work anything else out, I'll just change it to 
strip the line, since this is only applied to the first line of each 
file.  But it would be nice to get the escaping sorted out.  I'll take a 
look shortly.
