I have a feeling the BioDBSeqFeature_BDB.t tests fail based on issues with
the perl installation, not with Bioperl itself.  There are some funky things
going on with tempfile and tempdir creation/removal that are
Windows-specific and, I think, are related to permissions issues:

Set up gcc environment - 3.4.2 (mingw-special)
1..43
Error in tempdir() using
C:\Temp\Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::berkeleydb_XXXXXX: Could not create
directory C:\Temp\Bio::DB::S
eqFeature::Store::berkeleydb_j59apk: Invalid argument at
Bio/DB/SeqFeature/Store/berkeleydb.pm line 252

# Failed test 1 in t/BioDBSeqFeature.t at line 57

# Failed test 3 in t/BioDBSeqFeature.t at line 45 fail #2

....


Note that, when I run the regular BioDBSeqFeature.t tests, they pass, but at
the end...
