MSYS2, which is basically Cygwin, emulates symlinks with junction
points, so this happens to work for our purpose. We could therefore
enable these tests in that environment, if we could come up with a
reliable way to detect it.
Also, if we are going to add Win32::Symlink to the mix, we should make
sure things continue to work correctly under MSYS2.
