#NAME

ExtUtils::MM_Win95 - method to customize MakeMaker for Win9X

#SYNOPSIS

You should not be using this module directly.

This is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Win32 containing changes necessary to get MakeMaker playing nice with command.com and other Win9Xisms.

Most of these make up for limitations in the Win9x/nmake command shell. Mostly its lack of &&.

#xs_c: The && problem.
#xs_cpp: The && problem
#xs_o: The && problem.
#max_exec_len: Win98 chokes on things like Encode if we set the max length to nmake's max of 2K. So we go for a more conservative value of 1K.
#os_flavor: Win95 and Win98 and WinME are collectively Win9x and Win32
