I've just finished building perl 5.004 for B18.  It has a cygwin32
hint file that gets you most of the way there.

I had to patch two files to get it working correctly.  Environment
variable clearing was screwed up and loading of .dll's from mounted
directories wasn't working correctly.

If you're interested in perl 5.004, I can send you the patches.
