[Catalyst] New engine: HTTP::Prefork

Congratulations!

I've tried to install HTTP-HeaderParser-XS (under Windows), but I got the 
following error:

E:\HTTP-HeaderParser-XS-0.20\HTTP-HeaderParser-XS-0.20>perl Makefile.pl
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lstdc++

And I can't go further because I can't do the next step (nmake). I also 
tried to find a ppm package for this module, but I couldn't.

The other modules work fine and I think Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::Prefork 
should also work if HTTP-HeaderParser-XS is working.

Do you have suggestions for what I can do to be able to install it under 
Windows?

Thank you.
