I have a /usr/bin/perl.exe (bash under DOS prompt finds this one) and
a /bin/perl.exe (msys.bat finds this one). But these are the same
according to diff --binary. I only installed one. In fact, I deleted
my entire first MinGW installation when I first found I couldn't llvm
working and reinstalled cleanly, using perl from msys.
