Out of curiosity: would it be possible to use a two stage system to fool
explorer and other apps?

Something like:
1) a wrapper dll which is loaded by explorer
2) this wrapper dll loads "the real" dll and passes all calls through

Upon an installation of TortoiseSVN, the installer sends a notification
to the wrapper dll which first unloads "the real" dll, and always
returns "default/error" values when TortoiseSVN calls are made during
the installation. It then reloads "the real" dll after the installation
process is finished.

I don't know if this is feasible. What do you think?
