Do a search for the file.   The program should be included with
Strawberry Perl, and it wraps both gmake and dmake.

If this fails you can try to use cpan to install all the prerequisites
individually.  Note you will need the PostgreSQL developer headers etc
installed as well (hence the need to select that during PostgreSQL
install).

Nope.  This means run Perl and use ake.pm......
