[DOC PATCH] RE: genmake mention from perlembed.pod is bogus

Hi,
it appears that chunk of explanations in perlembed.pod is repeating
some facts that already present in README.win32, yet they are now
old and mostly questionable: no special care should be taken on Win32
nowadays.
Hence, I would like to propose an attached documentation patch, which
should apply cleanly for 5.13.10
Regards,
Vadim.
