I have recompiled all Perl modules in perl_vendor as separate packages
due to (among other things) problems with LWP.

This can be rectified by making perl-5.10 "prev" and move perl-5.14 from
"test" to current in setup.ini â since setup doesn't support version
directed dependencies unless the package name includes the version
somehow, I actually recreate setup.ini when pulling from a (local)
mirror for Cygwin plus my local package and patch archive.
