I think this seems like a more efficient solution than runing some
nasty cron job, though I suppose it would cost you an extra stat() or
two for every unlink(). As a per-share option it would probably be
fine, though. I might look at doing this because I think it would be a
nice addition to their coexistence--though in a race I'm sure Jeremy
Allison could beat me. :) (Apologies if I spelled his named wrong.)
