Actually, I don't think that's quite right.
http://linux.die.net/man/2/unlink
"On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
appropriately." So it should be returning an error, and logging a message for
a file it cannot unlink or people will be surprised with weird failures.
It also had some minor typos / English in the comments but we can fix that too.
Matthew.
