Subject: [PATCH] Bastian Kleineidam: added 'remove_tree()' function.  Needed
 so that 'remove_tree()' can cooperate with 'mkpath()' in the maintenance of
 the PATH_CREATED cache: specifically, if a directory is created with
 'mkpath()', later removed with 'remove_tree()', and 'mkpath()' is again
 requested to create it, then it would erroneously think the directory already
 existed, because it was in the PATH_CREATED cache.  The patch (slightly
 tweaked by me) fixes that.
