Theme Install Fails on Windows due to Permissions Error

[vattay]

OS: Windows 7
Environment: Msys / MinGW

The root problem might actually be a ruby on msys bug but just in case anyone has the same issue I am posting this here for fellow windows hackers.

The rake theme:install task refuses to work for me, when it tries to move "_theme_packages/_tmp" to a named folder, it invariably fails. The exact command is:

mv(tmp_path, new_path)

After much testing it appears that the yaml manifest file of the theme is not being closed after manifest = YAML.load_file(manifest) is called. Thus the "_tmp" directory cannot be deleted.

The workaround is to first open the file using Ruby IO and then use YAML.load(<somefile>)

Pull request will be provided soon.
