Not useful experience, no. There is apparently some way to run
Strawberry Perl as a 'compiler' to make it spit out just the files you
need, as dependencies for the get_iplayer script. 

I never got that working (and didn't really have the patience to run
Windows for long enough to look harder, since it didn't seem to run
under Wine for reasons I don't remember).

So for the installer I built, I just used exactly the same set of files
that were present in Phil's original Windows installer.

The makefiles in the get_iplayer repository are set up to work that way,
I believe.

If there's still anyone out there who actually cares about the Windows
operating system, it would be really useful if they were to try to make
it easier to build the installer.
