Security is not a "never have to think about". We can inprove the
tools and make them work under battle conditions, but that's only one
dimension.

The other dimension is about improving security even with tools that
fail on Windows. We can and should do that. If we improve security
only for a small subset of users, we improve the overall security of
CPAN because the small subset can pull the alarm bell faster.
