That's just to save a little build time, you can use doxygen with wsl
method as well

No need, since strawberry-perl already comes with it, so specifying
--wtih-doxygen=E:/path/to/strawberry-perl-portable/c/bin/doxygen.exe
will work.

If you want to use a different version, then you need to use a windows
version of doxygen, not one inside wsl (the initial set of patches
used the linux version, but that later was switched over to use the
windows-side to avoid slow file access across the different realms)
