I use them to make the import lib. I can't make perl Makefile.PL accept 
gdal_i.lib (which is annoying!) but if I edit it by hand into the 
Makefiles everything works - almost, I get some errors from the 
self-tests but they are also related to the version mismatches.

Yes, I was using the trunk version of wrappers.

However, I wonder how useful this is. Perl is packaged for cygwin and 
probably I should use that (instead of the MinGW perl I've compiled 
myself) for the OSGeo4W perl bindings for GDAL.
