This is hopefully fixed now in CVS, and a new snapshot is up also[1] if 
I can beg one more test.

We now differentiate syntax of the command to delete ourself depending 
on Win9x or WinNT variant.

Also, appending the command to delete ourself to the 'Build.bat' means 
that the old 'perl Build realclean' quit working. It was necessary to 
differentiate between the two ways of invoking Build. The best option I 
could think of was to use pl2bat to change the way it calls perl by 
appending an extra option (--build_bat). If this option is present, the 
Build.bat file was executed, so we can append the self-deletion command 
to that file. Otherwise, 'perl Build' was called, so it's safe to delete 
the file from within M::B. This also takes care of the issue of other 
programs calling realclean from the API.
