Re: lib problems

If FRONTEND is defined port/dirmod.c prints to stderr, and if not it wants
to call elog(). I want something that fails silently and sets errno, just
like I would expect a "real" unlink to do.

At any rate, what I have below has not failed yet in my testing.

and is only missing signal handling. (If anyone is curious and/or
