Build error on Windows

[alexsenatore]

I tried to run the installation of ContentaJS, which depends on plugnplay@3.5.0 on Windows. During "npm install" execution I'm getting the following error.

Try 'rm --help' for more information. npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! plugnplay@3.5.0 build: rm -fr lib; flow-remove-types --all src/ --out-dir lib/ && copy ./src/**/plugnplay.yml lib && flow-copy-source src lib npm ERR!

Looks like that plugnplay is not using the rimraf module but the UNIX rm command also on Windows.
