Don't follow Smylinks on a delete using ant internally

This works. Seems a little ugly to me as it must traverse multiple times and it very may well fail on multiple layers of symlinks

private void purgeDirectoryChildrenContainingSymlinks(File directoryToPurge) {
          // Walk and Find all Symlinks
        def pathsToPurge = []
        directoryToPurge.eachFileRecurse { child ->
            Path childPath = Paths.get(child.absolutePath)
            if (Files.isSymbolicLink(childPath)) {
                pathsToPurge << childPath
            }
        }
          // Purge all Symlinks
        pathsToPurge.each { child ->
            Files.deleteIfExists(child)
        }
            // Walk and Purge remaining file structure
        directoryToPurge.eachFile { child ->
            project.delete(project.file(child.absolutePath))
        }
    }
