  Or use my suite of file deletion and recovery programs (delete, undelete,
lsdel, expunge and purge) available at a comp.sources.unix archive site near
you as "undel2" (you also need the package called "et").

  Among other things, delete has the ability to emulate rm and rmdir (parsing
all command line arguments, doing recursion, etc.).

  Sure, you can do it all in a shell script, or even in a perl script.  But
I've already done it in C, and my suspicion is that it's going to be faster in
C :-).
