It was intentional; it was more effort than I wanted to put in to get newer OpenSSL to work with both the new build scripts and the old method, so I figured installing Perl wasn't the worst thing in the world for those who wanted to use the VS9.0 files.  If your patch isn't too big or invasive, I'd be fine with applying it, though.
