I finally got LLVM to build properly, but now I'm trying to build LDC for Windows
using the latest version of
msys/mingw and CMake with MinGW make files, and I'm getting the
following error:

Can't open perl script "E:/msys/1.0/home/dsimcha/ldcBin/revisions.pl":
No such file or directory
mingw32-make[2]: *** [revisions.h] Error 2
mingw32-make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/gen_revs_h.dir/all] Error 2

It seems that CMake isn't generating revisions.pl correctly from revisions.pl.in,
but I haven't the slightest clue why.
