[tex-live] tl09 release status: coming up

[Philip TAYLOR]

Acting on instinct, I deleted "perl.exe.manifest"
from H:\TeX\Live\2009\Mirror\tlpkg\tlperl\bin;
TeX Live PERL now runs, for the first time :-)

Sadly, we are by no means out of the water.  The
installation now aborts as follows (echo remains enabled) :
