If the directory has read-only permission shouldn't the program report
"read-only directory. Can't delete !" or something without having to
explicitly die?? Are the semantics heading the right way here?? It
seems rmtree is doing 'chmod +wx' or something here before deleteing
the dir/file, is it right or is it implementation dependent via the
programmer?
