Finally got hold of a copy of Visual Studio (I'm not paid to program, but I'm working on some internal tools, so I can use the company's licensed copy...)
So, of course, I'm trying to install Parrot. It's much happier with VC++, in fact it only fell apart once on the initial make (forward-slash vs. backslash in Makefile).
Now I'm running the tests. Fingers crossed.
