Wheeler: Fixing Unix/Linux/POSIX Filenames

A *few*? Have a read of coreutils-7.1/src/remove.c one of these days. 50K
of mostly sanity checks and fantastically elaborate code for portably and
securely recursing down directory trees, even those longer than PATH_MAX.

GNU coreutils, like gnulib, is a goldmine of fantastic tricks (and evil
ones that it's best to, ahem, admire from a distance: e.g. the less said
about NEED_REWIND and the need for rm running everywhere to work around a
MacOS X bug, the better).
