I am trying to build Encode on Win98 with perl-5.9.0, dmake and
MinGW-3, but the pm_to_blib action is 30 lines long and is choking
command com. I seem to be getting a divide overflow error in which the
MS IME is implicated.
This patch, defining max_exec_length in MM_Win95.pm,
and halving the number of lines, seems to solve that problem.
