Recursive apr_dir_remove?

I'm looking for a way to remove a directory and it's contents like "rm
-rf".  

Are there any plans to add support for a recursive apr_dir_remove?

Just thought I'd check before I create my own.

Thanks

I don't know if any such plans exist, but there's at least one
implementation out there (svn_io_dir_remove, from Subversion) that's
built on top of APR.  I personally wouldn't mind seeing something
similar in APR itself.
