XP does not have the restart manager which means the msi does not show
the files-in-use dialog and offers to restart the processes.

Also, the restart detection isn't working as required for TSVN on Vista
and later either: the restart manager detects the files are in use,
offers to close the processes that have the files open.
But: if you don't close those processes, the files can still be replaced
by the installer (feature of NTFS). So the msi does not ask to reboot
after the installation finished (because all files are already updated).

However, this is only really a problem for 'major' TSVN updates, i.e.
from 1.7.x to 1.8.x, basically only if the format of the working copy
changes.
