Ok, so it's (as I thought) not the cause of the problem.

It doesn't play any role here. But it where, say "foo" it would achieve the
same effect as calling the real program texlua from a symlink named "foo" on
a Unix system. Precisely, it would force the value "foo" for the argv[0] of
the program (that, the name the program *believes* you used to invoke it).
