It's one of those non-POSIXy things that can be detected if you look
closely enough. The directory must still exist since Windows considers
it an open file, it only really gets deleted when the process exits.

I don't know if that's even possible (i.e. whether you can make getcwd()
return a different string than the now deleted but still existing cwd of
the process).
