Failing on Windows 8

[jimisaacs]

Getting ENOTEMPTY when trying to clean a directory with various subdirectories and files on Windows 8, through Git bash.

git bash version:
1.8.1.msysgit.1

node v0.10.8 (The default install)
grunt v0.4.1 (Installed locally ran with global grunt-cli)
grunt-contrib-clean v0.4.1

Update: It fails when running clean as the 2nd to final task of a significantly long build.
I just tried running the clean task step by itself, and it works.
I wonder if on windows, there may be things hanging around, and they need time to clean up themselves before deleting. Not sure what this is, pretty new to windows development myself.

Also, this error is intermittent, but I have been getting it consistently lately. Probably a race condition somewhere.

This task is a small wrapper around grunt.file.delete which is a small wrapper around rimraf.sync. It looks related to this issue: isaacs/rimraf#21 Specifically look at this comment: isaacs/rimraf#19 (comment)

I have fixed this.

Awesome thank you @paulmillr! Reference isaacs/rimraf@04b22e8

I think it would be a good idea for this plugin to use rimraf directly for now to get this fix. As grunt.file.delete uses a version that would require a minor version bump in grunt.

@cowboy @tkellen Any objection to using rimraf directly here for now?

Anything that reduces a task's dependency on the task runner is a-ok by me. Go for it!

Thanks Tyler! Updated to use rimraf directly to get this fix. Published as 0.5.0.
