Language resource DLL in TortoiseSVN is never unloaded

Hi!

I noticed the following issue when reinstalling betas:
If I use non-localized version of TortoiseSVN reinstallation goes
smoothly without need to reboot.

If I use localized version, reinstallation does require reboot.
The cause is that the localization library, e.g.
Languages\TortoiseProc1049.dll remains locked.

Looking at the sources I see that
 CTortoiseProcApp::InitInstance() in TortoiseProc.cpp loads the DLL,
but it is never unloaded.

Would it be safe in CTortoiseProcApp::ExitInstance() to
1) call AfxSetResourceHandle( ) with its default value (NULL ?), and
2) unload the DLL ?

It is a minor issue, though, because in normal use reinstalls do not
happen frequently.
A possible workaround is to rename the old dll (or the whole Languages
folder) before installing new version.

I am using WindowsXP 32-bit.

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
