I did patch this up somewhat for Win32 earlier. It should work as you 
have it. However, you may need to (in your c:\parrot) do an "nmake 
parrot_config.exe" to get it to work. (It will still fail to find it in 
a couple of places and spit out warnings, but it should eventually find 
it and spit out a makefile).
