Note that TeX Live Utility doesn't call the Perl subroutines directly, but runs tlmgr as a separate process.  No idea whether that's easier on Windows, but it might be another option (or maybe I misinterpreted Norbert's comment).

Frankly, it doesn't matter what people on mailing lists want...I decided long ago that I'm not going to add support for all tlmgr features.  There is a semi-hidden way to force removal in TeX Live Utility, but someone wanting to use 'generate' will have to use the command line and be responsible for his own mess :).
