I'm having trouble installing non-ppm packages on ActiveState Perl 5.8 on Windows XP.  Four 
different version of make (MSYS, Cygwin, mingw32-make, Win32 port of gmake) choke on the mak
efile produced either by
perl makefile.pl
  or
cpan install ....

Here is an example with module Image-Grab (happens to be the Win32 port make) 

C:\Image-Grab-1.4.2> perl makefile.pl
C:\Image-Grab-1.4.2> make
Makefile:295: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

Lines 295-6 in the makefile:

config :: $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) $(INST_LIBDIR)$(DIRFILESEP).exists
 $(NOECHO) $(NOOP)
 
(Removing this and another objected-to bits allows make to run.  I worry that something esse
ntial is missed in the installation.)

What's going on?
