std.file.rmdirRecurse refuses to remove readonly files.
How would I go about deleting them anyway?
Call std.file.setAttributes() first, which has apparently been
added just three days ago: :)

If you can't work with git head version of dmd, then do what it
does yourself, depending on your platform:
void setAttributes(in char[] name, uint attributes)
{
version (Windows)
{
cenforce(SetFileAttributesW(std.utf.toUTF16z(name),
attributes), name);
}
else version (Posix)
{
assert(attributes <= mode_t.max);
cenforce(!chmod(toStringz(name),
cast(mode_t)attributes), name);
}
}
For example, if you are on Linux:
import core.sys.posix.sys.stat;
import std.conv;
// ...
chmod("/my/file", cast(mode_t)octal!777)
