[P5P] perl 5.8.2 on win32 and multiple compilations

If you do compile multiple times from the same source (even with "make clean"
in between) it hangs on every copy of the module's .pm-files: "overwrite
yes/no/always".

Makefiles work(ed) without prompting on WinNT's cmd.exe - but
of course
Win2k/WinXP seem to have changed things.

"always" gets you nowhere, as these are single file copy commands - so you'd
have to acknowledge every one.

I'd suggest that you either
- set COPYCMD=/Y in the Makefile(s),
- or at least tell to set that in the README.win32.
As I see that Nick agreed, patch welcome ;)
