I think the policy is we require perl for building from a git pull,
but not for building from a tarball. Thus, any files that perl is used
to produce have to be shipped in tarballs.

However, there definitely *is* a hard requirement on perl for Windows
builds, even from tarballs, and I thought this patch was only about
the Windows build?
