Loosing LocalData with uninstalled version

Currently to run texi2any on MSWindows I am using an ``uninstalled'' SVN
version. That is to say I have a wrapper that just calls the texi2any
script from the SVN work area using the activestate perl.

FYI, the source of this wrapper is attached as makeinfo-dos.cpp.

Please note that I need the activestate perl because if I use the MSYS
perl in the wrapper, then I get the following error message when
compiling latex2e-fr.texi from latexrefman GNA! project:

Now the problem I have is that using this non-installed version lacks
the LocalData. The implication is that compiling latex2e-fr.texi from
latexrefman GNA! project this way will make ``Table of contents''
instead of ``Table des matières''.

Please note that lacking the LocalData is is true whether I use the
activestate of the MSYS perl with my wrapper, the root cause seems that
I am using an uninstalled version.

Please also note that I get this error message on any compilation:

Here is the command line which I use:

Unable to install texi2any

So, why using an ``uninstalled'' version. Well, the thing is that trying
as much as I could, I never could install texi2any.

When trying to install texi2any on MSWindows with MSYS and with MSYS
configured to use the MSYS perl (eg by having the fstab file having /perl
directory pointing that the MSYS perl), then I get the following error
message:

Now, if I change the MSYS fstab file so that the perl is activestate
perl, then installation of texi2any will make this error:

Please note that configure was called as follows:

Please note also that automake utility does not work when activestate
perl is used instead of MSYS perl, I get this error:

I have tried to hack this by giving the MSWindows path of automake to
activestate perl, ie I did:

and then I tried automake again, and here is the error it makes (well it
is not really surprising that the MSYS automake does not work with
activestate...):
