Totally weird, PAR is a pure-Perl module.

The culprit is the version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker included in Cygwin
package perl 5.14.1. It generates this bogus rule.
I tried to install a newer version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, butran into
strange Cygwin errors ("address space is already occupied by...").
Then I tried to install JASON::XS which failed with "rebase: can't
find /etc/rebase.db.i386".
If I try to re-install the "rebase" package, this will downgrade Perl to 5.10.1.
At that point I gave up.

Cheers, Roderich
