[Patch]: rmdir

Subject: [Patch]: rmdir

This is not a bug fix, just the reversion of a comment removal
following some recent tests on NT, plus some code simplification.

Here are the details:
- Until last Sunday, rmdir(".") didn't work.
- Now it works on 9x if the directory is empty. 
  "rmdir ." from a shell works there too.
- It also works on NT if the directory is empty AND no other process
  is using it as working directory. "rmdir ." doesn't work from a shell.
Following my initial experience on 9x, I had deleted some comments.
That was premature.
