As Windows doesn't support fork, I am not sure the engine will work  
under Windows at all.  The fork emulation in ActivePerl will probably  
not work, since it makes your application multi-threaded and then you  
will run into thread safety issues with lots of modules.

However, the "No library found for -lstdc++" warning happens to me too  
on Mac, and it compiles fine anyway.
