[tex-live] tlmgr and texlive.infra

[Michel Goossens]

Following the instructions on http://www.tug.org/texlive/tlmgr
I seem to still have problems with the texlive.infra file being absent
(I am on Windows/Cygwin running the native Vista executables but I get
the same behaviour under Vista's cmd window):
