Feature request: rm to recycle bin

[Stephen Kennedy <steve at sdkennedy dot com>]

I've searched the mailing list so believe this isn't a FAQ; apologies if 
it is.

There have been several threads on the mailing list about replicating 
Windows' recycle bin functionality using aliases or shell functions, 
none of which are really satisfactory. However, in this thread 
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2007-01/msg00327.html it was discussed 
that 'rm' has been patched to send deleted files to the recycle bin in 
certain limited circumstances.

Given that the code for sending to recycyle bin is already in place, may 
I request that a command line option be added to rm and rmdir to send 
all files to the bin? This would be extremely handy for use in scripts, 
to me at the very least.

While I'm here please let me thank you very much for providing such an 
*awesome* set of tools.

Steve
