No, because the DLLs used by bash are OFTEN the ones that actually DO need to be rebased (because they are used by darn near everything, so we need to ensure that their image base does not conflict with anything else): libintl, libiconv, libncurses, ...
Assuming that those DLL which are up and running typically don't need to be rebased, couldn't one simply exclude them from being rebased? I.e. with on option:
rebaseall --exclude-loaded
You're missing the point of rebaseALL. Murphy says that if you don't rebase dll A, then dll A *will* be the culprit the next time you get that 'unable to remap' error.
With regards to your earlier .bat file idea...Meh. You shouldn't need to DO it that often -- certainly not often enough to clutter your start menu or desktop with a shortcut!
And it invites casual use without understanding the what and why. This means more people using it for no reason and more problems using it when it is needed because people don't understand the requirements to make it work (i.e. *nobody* will read the readme... wait, there's a readme? ;-) ).
