Merge branch 'perl5lib'

With this topic branch, the PERL5LIB variable is unset to avoid external
settings from interfering with Git's own Perl interpreter.

This branch also cleans up some of our Windows-only config setting code
(and this will need to be rearranged in the next merging rebase so that
the cleanup comes first, and fscache and longPaths support build on
top).
