<symlink action="delete" failonerror="false"/> should remove the symlink
if it exists and not do anything if it doesn't. So this should be a
reliable way to delete it without required ant-contrib.

I'm surprised this works on FreeBSD as I don't think we'd record "." as
not followed symlink at all - haven't checked the code.
<delete removenotfollowedsymlinks="true" failonerror="false">
<fileset followsymlinks="false" dir="${basex-home}">
<include name="data"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
should probably work but I'd go with <symlink action="delete">.
