The .AppleDouble directories contain all the Mac-Specific portions of
files i.e. the resource fork, type/creator codes, finder info, and a few
other bits. Basically theu hold everything that is only useful to the Mac.
Deleting the .AppleDouble directories is probably not a good idea unless
you no longer want to read the files on a Mac.
