I suggest installing it under Cygwin -- you're going to have lots of trouble 
with the dependencies (Cache::FastMmap isn't going to work, probably) on 
plain Windows.  I know for a fact that Angerwhale works fine under Cygwin, 
though; I occasionally do development there.

Looks like Windows uppercases environment variables, which UNIX doesn't.  You 
can safely remove ConfigLoader::Environment from Angerwhale, though -- it's 
only used during the tests and if you're deploying on UNIX and using 
something like envdir for configuration.  

However, suggestions for making ConfigLoader::Environment work cleanly on both 
Windows and UNIX are welcome.
