+ System specific notes
+ ---------------------
+
+ Cygwin
+
+Getting perl scripting to work needs a few things:
+
+ - configure with --with-perl-staticlib
+
+ - libperl.dll is required in linking and running irssi, it's normally
+   located somewhere around /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin/CORE/libperl5_6_1.dll
+   copy it to eg. /usr/bin/libperl.dll
+
+ - -DUSEIMPORTLIB is needed to be defined while compiling src/perl directory.
+   It doesn't hurt to be defined everywhere, so configure irssi with:
+
+     CFLAGS='-DUSEIMPORTLIB' ./configure --with-perl-staticlib
