That's a cool idea but its not an install so no pending files :(

I was toying with the idea of amending tar for cygwin so that
it could move the offending files to a specific dir or /var/tmp
by default when encountering such a file. All the times I've
tried this its still possible to move the file even though its
locked open. Delete fails otherwise --unlink would work
Actually now I just said it could alter --unlink to do a move
if the delete failed and that would also fix and would be
a neater solution. What do people think?
