Hi Norbert,
there is some documentation above the function definition in
TLUtils.pm.  Please let me know if something is unclear.  The idea is
to collect ls-R entries first and append them to the respective files
at the end in order to avoid duplicate entries. 

If entries would be appended to ls-R files immediately, you would get 

path_a:
  file_1 
path_a:
  file_2 

instead of

path_a:
  file_1 
  file_2 

Instead of using a global hash to store paths, mktexupd() returns a
function which can access non-local variables.

Certainly not.

I think you can change it for Windows.  What I don't understand yet is
where the different spellings come from since all absolute paths are
determined by kpathsea.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
