(That is, Solaris' tar has the 'C' option, which is quite a good

Oh, I cannot resist ;-)

Solaris has unlink(2) capable of removing a directory, but I do
not think it is included in POSIX.

I don't have access to the POSIX documents, but it would surprise me if
they forbid unlink(2) being able to unlink directories. :-)

You need some effort to support tar -C and to catch directories in
unlink.  So Sun put the effort in tar, because it may be needed to be
conformant to POSIX or some other standard.

Best regards
Uwe
