[tex-live] Latexmk (42982) and later problem (on Windows only?)

[John Collins]

The bug has already been reported and corrected in latexmk 4.53c.  But I 
dropped the ball and didn't upload the corrected version to CTAN, so 
it's not yet in TeXLive.  I'll upload it today.  Meanwhile the corrected 
version is at
