The issue here, as I recall, is that it's possible to have:
1 "rm *" is issued
2 chkrmall() finds no files in the directory
3 some external process creates a file
4 "rm *" is executed
5 the file created at (3) is silently deleted
So we would need either to avoid re-expanding "*" after chkrmall(), or
treat "found no files" as "user answered no".
