I'm pretty busy right now and can't guarantee I'll even be able to look at this until Friday (I spent the last 2 days on pg stuff so need to do some other things at work :-( ). If anyone has more time please shout, otherwise I'll get to this as soon as I can. > I wanted to keep a solution that was as native to the OS as > possible, but because we can't do that on Win32 and few > people like the unix system call to 'rm', it is time to clean it up.

I don't know - which leads me nicely onto point out that it's not my patch :-) I think it was Andrew that orginally wrote it - I just created the patch to put it back in after it was removed.
