Thanks. I added that and pushed. Let's see if fairywren likes it
when it comes back online.
I also learned that in the CI environment, node->basedir() is a path
containing an internal "." component (I mean "something/./something").
I added a regex to collapse those, because they're unacceptable in
Windows junction point targets. I'm aware that there is something
happening in another CF entry that might address that sort of
thing[1], so then perhaps I could remove the kludge.
I tested that with a throw-away change to .cirrus.yml, like so. The
CI thread[2] is discussing a proper solution to these Windows CI blind
spots.
