Windows VMs seem to have trouble deleting files
created in the lifetime of the VM.  Not sure why it's
only manifesting itself now... the only known
workaround is a call to System.gc() prior to a second
attempt at File.delete().  FixCRLF is using
File.delete() directly; it should probably be modified
to use gc() and retry after an unsuccessful delete
just like Delete (now) does.
