It seems $ENV{PERL_BUILD_EXPAND_CONFIG_VARS} is a long forgotten by POSIX Perl build config option. Apparantly there is a belief that DynaLoader.pm is a dual-life on CPAN, and 30 different versions of stable Perls must share 1 non-arch DynaLoader.pm file on Linux.
On Win32, the $Config{vars} that DynaLoader.pm wants, are not, and make no sense to be end user interp build time configurable. There is no file extension for shlibs except .dll on Win32. No .aout vs .so vs .sl drama.
$Config{libpth} telling DynaLoader to pass a .o/.obj/.a/.lib file to LoadLibraryEx() is out of scope of this commit.
