Most likely because I'm not experienced enough at writing makefiles ;-)
I originally tried the approach with
ifeq ($(PORTNAME),win32)
perl_archlibexp=$(subst, \,/,$(perl_archlibexp))
...
but then make complained about recursive assignment of the variable. If
there is a simple way to get around that, it wouldn't be necessary.
Since I didn't know of one, I had to change the name of the variable,
which in turned required the part under else, so I didn't have to ifeq
the actual build rule.
