Yes, you can't make everyone happy. The Windows semantics when deleting a file in use is so different from POSIX, that you will always find a situation which won't work as in POSIX. Regardless of the effort you make to "get it right". I don't think it's worth it. The whole delqueue approach is just a crook and will always be.
