Fixes #31. For newer versions of Windows 10 in developer mode symlinks can be enabled in MSYS2 by setting the environment variable MSYS to winsymlinks:nativestrict, see this blog post. Still, it does not support creating broken symlinks as is done _get_fresh_tmp_dir() in t/01.legacy.t, which is the reason for the failed tests in #31.
