Message:

Kathy found a problem whereby she wanted to run consecutive buildcols without activate on a solr collection. She experienced file locking issues on Windows, which the original solr related building code would inevitably cause without activate. Dr Bainbridge's solution was to change our way of thinking about what activate and buildcol should now be doing as regards solr collections. The solution was to unload building-cores for indexes at the end of buildcol, instead of only doing this during activate.pl. I've tried to be conservative with the changes made to the existing code, so that activate still attempts to also unload building-cores, but first pings them (and any other cores it attempts to unload) to ensure the cores exist. During buildcol too, the building-cores are pinged to check they exist before we attempt to unload them.
