I think there are two different things being discussed in this thread. 
On the one hand, setup alerts the user that certain DLLs are in use and 
can't be replaced.  This, of course, hasn't changed.

On the other hand, the new _autorebase postinstall script 
(/etc/postinstall/autorebase.bat) will run rebaseall and will deal 
gracefully with DLLs that can't be rebased because they're in use.

I just tried it, and the list of DLLs that couldn't be rebased does 
indeed appear in setup.log.full.  I also get a warning from setup.exe 
about the exit code of autorebase.bat, which some users might interpret 
as meaning that autorebase.bat failed.  I wonder if you'd be better off 
suppressing this warning somehow.
