This looks fine as far as it goes, but I'm still thinking it's a bad
idea for rmtree() to fall over on the first failure. I propose that it
ought to keep trying to delete the rest of the target directory tree.
Otherwise, one permissions problem (for example) could lead to most
of a dropped database not getting freed up,
If there aren't objections, I'll make that happen after Heikki applies
his patch.
