[jcifs] Recursive Deletes

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

Nope. If you ask me the whole protocol is a scam to waste bandwidth. It's not
good for business if your servers are efficient.

You can get a free count of the disk with freeDiskSpace (err, maybe I should
have called that getFreeDiskSpace). But not of a particular sub directory.
