rm -f semantics

[Peter Eisentraut]

MLB branch.  Works with fuzz in HEAD.

2001-03-11  Peter Eisentraut  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in (clean,uninstall): Do not error if the file doesn't
        exist and 'rm -f' was used.  Exit with status 1 on error.

Before:
$ libtool --mode=clean rm noexist.lo
=> error message, exit 0
$ libtool --mode=clean rm -f noexist.lo
=> error message, exit 0

After:
$ libtool --mode=clean rm noexist.lo
=> error message, exit 1
$ libtool --mode=clean rm -f noexist.lo
=> silent, exit 0

Background note:  I generally have my makefiles set up to not ignore
errors in clean, to catch makefile bugs, but I do use 'rm -f' to allow
running clean repeatedly.  This patch allows libtool
--mode=clean|uninstall to work as a transparent wrapper around 'rm' and
'rm -f' respectively.
