[MacPerl] Icon files

[Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>]

We need to take a serious look at Icon files, I think.  They are messing up
things that I do now more than ever, as they get put there by the system
automatically in Mac OS 8.5 (more info is kept in the files than just icon
data).

One prominent case where this problem is hitting is in File::Find.  These
files when found cause problems because you can't do tests on them without
getting warnings or errors, because the filename has a newline in it.  And
with CPAN.pm, some directories are not getting deleted because it is not
able to delete the Icon file, and so the directory is not empty.

I don't know what to do, but it is a problem.
