rm --do-what-i-mean

[Philip Rowlands]

As mentioned in the coreutils gotchas, rm cannot always delete directory 
hierarchies.

I'm sure the folks on this list could write

$ find -type d -exec chmod +wx {} +

in their sleep but it's not the most obvious way out of unwritable directories.

Feels like a long shot, but could we add a new option to rm to add wx bits to 
each directory encountered during a --recursive walk?

Perhaps -ff for "double force"? :) I looked for prior art in the *BSDs, but 
found nothing.


Cheers,
Phil
