[tlbuild] duplicates in win32

we have a mechanism of linked scripts when some scripts maintained in
the build tree are installed as symlinks from the bin directory to the
texmf tree (symlinks are actually used only on non-windows bin
directory, and windows uses a wrapper EXE file to simulate the symlink).

this could be done for psmerge and some other scripts (in fact, there's
no reason not to do this for ALL scripts, i.e. to install all of them
into e.g. Master/texmf/scripts/misc/
and as symlinks in the bin directories.

installing them as symlinks would:

* save some space (only one copy of the script, instead of duplicating
  it in each binary directory; and some of them are quite big)

* avoid possible synchronization problems, when different architectures
  get outdated copy of some script

currently we have the following scripts in i386-linux installed not as
symlinks:

if they all are installed as symlinks, in the same way as we do in the
Build/source/texk/texlive/linked_scripts directory, we could then
remove some more of the BAT files in the win32 directory, leaving only
the generic EXE wrapper.

Best,
