  Modified files:
    bin/rm               rm.1 rm.c 
  Log:
  Add -I, an option that asks for confirmation once if recursively
  removing directories or if more than 3 files are listed in the
  command line.
  
  This feature is intended to provide a safe net but not being too
  annoying like having "rm -i" for every deleting operations, and
  is generally good for both newbies and power users, preventing
  them from being so easily run into ``rm -rf /'', ``rm -rf *''
  and so forth.
  
  Originally implemented by Matthew Dillon for DragonFly, plus
  some improvements done by various DragonFly contributors.
