POSIX allows the refusal to delete an in-use directory; and Solaris NFS
mounts behave this way.  But since Linux can delete in-use directories
(where an in-use directory includes the condition of at least one
process owning that directory as its cwd), and cygwin emulates Linux
rather than POSIX, we can try harder if it makes sense.
