Thanks.  I added that and pushed.  Let's see if fairywren likes it
when it comes back online.

I also learned that in the CI environment, node->basedir() is a path
containing an internal "." component (I mean "something/./something").
I added a regex to collapse those, because they're unacceptable in
Windows junction point targets.  I'm aware that there is something
happening in another CF entry that might address that sort of
thing[1], so then perhaps I could remove the kludge.

I tested that with a throw-away change to .cirrus.yml, like so.  The
CI thread[2] is discussing a proper solution to these Windows CI blind
spots.

   test_modules_script:
     - perl src/tools/msvc/vcregress.pl modulescheck
+    - perl src/tools/msvc/vcregress.pl taptest ./src/test/modules/test_misc
