I don't remember the details and I don't have time to look right now,
but it has something to do with Windows not letting you remove or
move open files.

You could try coming up with an alternate bootstrap that takes a different
approach.

Another idea is to keep a buildout to the side and use that to bootstrap
the buildouts your doing while testing.
