Hi all,

There is a new version of the generic script wrapper for Windows
available as updates from tlcritical. This is a complete rewrite of
the script wrappers framework to reduce the reliance on batch scripts,
so please give it some testing (i.e. check if scripts you use work as
usual).

>From the most visible changes: scripts without extensions, like
makeglossaries, should work now. Some perl scripts might still be
broken due to missing modules, but this will be dealt with on a
case-by-case basis as bug reports come in.

For those interested to look under the hood, you will find sources in
our svn under:

   trunk/Build/source/texk/texlive/w32_wrapper/

General overview is at the top of runscript.tlu file.

Cheers,

Tomek
