in the days before freezing tex live 8 quite some experiments were done (in 
know for instance that volker s installed the windows version each day a 
few t imes until it worked ok); as far as i can see things should work; on 
windows, it's irun.exe that is responsible for launching texexec (run irun 
--help to see the options)
