In Haskell, we have very poor support for Windows operating system errors. The libraries provided by the compiler don't have a comprehensive manual catch for these errors for Windows. Essentially, we only catch errors on Linux and Mac (so-called errno). I think this will also silently crash, like renameFileWithRetry.

[Bodigrim]

The main idea here is having a shared helper to handle isDoesNotExistError, the rest of error handling is bolt-on. In my manual testing it works reasonably ok-ish, although certainly not bulletproof.

Personally, I like this pull request, just like renameFileWithRetry. But it doesn't prevent the silent death of the build on Windows.

Anyone else up for review please?
