Subject: [PATCH] apr_dir_remove_recursively

OK, it's not actually a patch, because I'm not sure where it ought to
live.  I've attached it below.

The function apr_dir_remove() won't work on a non-empty directory, so
this routine fills the gap.  It's equivalent to 'rm -rf'.

This routine currently lives in a Subversion library.  I'd like to
move it into apr_file_io.h, but I'm not sure where the actual code
should live.  It's implemented using nothing but other apr file
routines;  does this mean duplicating the code into file_io/unix,
file_io/win32, file_io/os2?

  apr_pool_t *subpool;
  apr_int32_t flags = APR_FINFO_TYPE | APR_FINFO_NAME;

  status = apr_pool_create (&subpool, pool);
  if (! (APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS (status))) return status;

  status = apr_dir_open (&this_dir, path, subpool);
  if (! (APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS (status))) return status;

  for (status = apr_dir_read (&this_entry, flags, this_dir);

       status = apr_dir_read (&this_entry, flags, this_dir))

      char *fullpath = apr_pstrcat (subpool, path, "/", this_entry.name, NULL);

      if (this_entry.filetype == APR_DIR)
        {
          if ((strcmp (this_entry.name, ".") == 0)
              || (strcmp (this_entry.name, "..") == 0))
