Upon futher inspection, Disk cache truncating (using polipo -x) appears to
be completely broke on native Windows when using Mingw.  The following is
printed to the log:

"Couldn't fts_open disk cache: Function not implemented"

Upon examination just as it suggeststhe fts_* functions aren't really
implemented fully in MinGw.

"...

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
This function is missing on some platforms: AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5,
OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, mingw, BeOS.

..."

Another instance on this causing problems in another project:

It almost looks like either special modification to the code to handle MinGW
would be needed or a special truncating utility for native windows would
need to be made in order to get such a thing working on the win side...
