So I had the oppoortunity to give this a bit a test and from what I looks
now
the situation is a bit in dare state for building mod_perl for httpd 2.4.x
on Windows

- Strawberry Perl fails for mod_perl since its toolchain mostly relies on
dmake
  (as previously said, not really working for mod_perl)

- I was able to obtain a (seemingly) apxs_win32 from Apachelounge*
  -> without it you  get the said error with both Windows Perl
distributions.

I focussed then on ActivePerl 5.18 since that one seems to be more closely
tied to VC - ?

- ActivePerl 5.18 at least contains ExtUtils:Embed 1.3001
  (still fails initially but can be silenced by 'set
MP_USE_MY_EXTUTILS_EMBED=1)
- Within the "VS2012 x86 Natvie Tools Command Prompt" and a apxs.bat 'perl
Makefile.pl'
  passes with some errors. (some progress at least!)
- However the resulting Makefile doesn't take take care of the Windows
environment as it wants to use dmake and gcc

I'm not enough familiar with MakeMaker - any hint how to get further? I
compared on a Ubuntu VM
where the SVN HEAD builds properly without issues, so it is a
Windows-specific problem.

Best regards
Mat
