I have got to the bottom of the issue on fairywren - it was caused by
using a zlib I had build (and which is used on drongo) rather than the
mingw64 zlib package. So I've switched that.

While doing that I uncovered some more things that need to be fixed for
portability both in TestLib and the pg_basebackup tests,

Meanwhile I will now go and investigate what's happening with bowerbird.
