To be serious again: The idea of copying the whole Perl stuff needed
for running tlmgr looks like a good idea IMHO. It still would mean
shuffling around a few Megabytes, but it would elegantly avoid the
file locking problems. In other words, a Windows user should have to
execute a batch file like this if clicking on the tlmgr icon:
<set up environment variables>
cpdir <tlmgrdir> <tlmgrdir-temp>
<tlmgrdir-temp>\tlmgr
[This is how little Werner sees the Windows world.]
