Although the docs aren't very clear, --relocatable should be run on
_existing_ virtualenvs. Don't think of it as an option for creating an
environment, but rather one for preparing an existing environment for
moving.

More importantly, it _must_ be re-run in order to remain relocatable
after any modules are installed.

But most important of all, from the documentation: "Also this does not
currently work on Windows."
