Weak support for directory manipulation in Squeak (?)

I'd like to keep sqFilePrims.c portable.
I think the best solution is to add a directory delete primitive,
as Stephen first suggested. I'm not eager to add a directoryExists
primitive, since there is already a way to get that information
(as Stephen's filein demonstrates).
Basically, the code Stephen sent out looks fine and I see no reason
not to fold it into the baseline.
