OK, tricky, but here's what I did to get this working on fairywren.
First, on Msys2 there is a problem with name mangling. We've had to fix
this before by telling it to ignore certain argument prefixes.
Second, once that was fixed rmdir was failing on the tablespace. On
Windows this is a junction, so unlink is the correct thing to do, I
believe, just as it is on Unix where it's a symlink.
