PXPerl 5.8.7-1 released (with Pugs 6.2.7 and Parrot 0.2.1 binaries)

Hi,

I'm elated to announce the release of PXPerl 5.8.7-1!
One of the most interesting new thing in 5.8.7-1 is perhaps the
ability to select GCC (MinGW) to compile new modules, eg. downloaded
from CPAN.
Many other changes:

 + Upgraded to Perl 5.8.7
 + Upgraded to Pugs 6.2.7
 + Upgraded to Parrot 0.2.1
 + Updated modules to their latest version
 + Added Module::Build
 + Now a ZIP package of PXPerl (no installer) is also available
 + Added an installation script so as to emancipate from the installer
 + Includes Microsoft's free nmake in case you don't have a make program
 + Installer can now work in quiet mode (PXPerl-5.8.7-1.exe /S)
 + Changed compilation flags for Intel Compiler so that executables
are a bit smaller in size, and thus possibly faster
 + PXPerl build phase is now quite entirely automated, thanks to Perl :D
 + Added some useful commands for manipulating environment variables
which are lacking in Windows: add_to_path/remove_from_path and
set_env/delete_env
