Drop NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER from config.mak.uname for the MSVC platform.

MakeMaker is available on Windows Perl implementations and
installs modules to correct location, unlike NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER Makefile.

As nobody seems to object to this change (and I do not have an
environment nor inclination to test MSVC builds myself), I'll apply
this directly to 'master', hoping that doing so reasonably ahead of
2.0-rc0 would give people enough time to complain if needed.

Thanks.
