Strawberry Perl places a `pkg-config.bat` into PATH that is written in Perl and is not intended to be used by third parties as a MinGW distribution. This wouldn't matter, except that Strawberry Perl is also included in Github CI images out of the box, in `PATH`, and it breaks everyone's CI jobs. This is already done by Meson and CMake: mesonbuild/meson#9384 https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/merge_requests/9375 Fixes rust-lang#164

Just filing this as an issue so I can link to it from rust-lang/rust#123436 for now, will open a PR to fix this later.
