I finally found a way around this, and just updated the README.mingw:

Get ActivePerl 5.6.1 from http://www.c3scripts.com/tutorials/activeperl.

(Note: msys comes with perl, but not the XML::Parser module intltool 
needs. I haven't managed to build XML::Parser with mingw's perl, but 
ActivePerl ships with it, so we install it too.  I got this workaround 
from Hans Breuer's page on building Dia on Windows.)

# use ActivePerl, rather than mingw perl,
# so that we get XML::Parser for intltool
export PERL="/c/Perl/bin/perl"
export INTLTOOL_PERL="/c/Perl/bin/perl"
