Perl is now an optional dependency and an acceptable addition
(find is also optional, but has little impact if the line with
it is commented out). Without perl, everything still builds,
you just don't get Help. [thankfully ls and basename are no
longer also required]

You need to manually correct the path to perl in make-abidoc.pl
to point to where you actually have perl (Cygwin's may work, though
I find the ActiveState version works better in general). Given
the complaint I would think it failed to correctly build them,
and checking, yes it failed (the files exist but are 0 bytes).
I think the path of perl in the file should be changed to something
like /usr/bin/perl or whatever the proper Unix path is.

The find error may be ignored, it was explained to me (thank you)
that the find line simply deletes the unnecessary CVS directories
from the help docs (though I suspect the tarball lacks them, hence
your error about not finding them, couldn't say for sure though as
I simply commented out that line locally as I don't have find
installed).
Did you finish getting the plugins to build or did you get stuck
on some of the dependencies?
