rm(1) has been fixed to use getopt(3), to use the ndir directory routines,
to use the standard error-reporting facilities, and to use rmdir(3).  Also
some miscellaneous cleanup and improvement of error messages.

One defect of using rmdir(3):  when a directory is unremovable, you don't
get very much indication of why.
