it seems msvc 6.0 matches the behavior of 8.0 (meaning 7.1 is probably
the broken one.)

i don't think anyone is looking at these. the few active windows
developers have either been too busy to work on parrot, or (like me,)
involved in other parrot projects. if you could take a ny of these,
that would be appreciated.
the env test failures are known (#37301), but not addressed. making
the tests work would be preferable to skipping them, for what it's
worth :)
the eval tests aren't failing for me:
>prove -Ilib t/pmc/eval.t
t/pmc/eval....ok
1/18 skipped: too much old calling conventions
All tests successful, 1 subtest skipped.
Files=1, Tests=18, 3 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 CPU)
so that's something i can't help with unless it's reproducible.
the examples tests have been failing for some time now, but i haven't
taken the time to look at them closely. it would be nice to get them
passing (or skip them on windows) before the next release, but i think
env and eval tests are more important.
hope that helps.
