It might be worth pointing out that this file will be removed "multiple"
times in the future also.  I have run in to the situation of trying to
"rm" an open file, and getting an error, followed it with "rm -f".
When the file was closed, it was immediately removed (as expected). 
But,
when I created the next instance of the file it was immediately removed
also!
Maybe there needs to be a check for multiple "unlink" requests, with the
first successful request removing the the remaining queued requests.
This is very confusing when it is an executable that keeps getting
deleted as soon as make finishes creating a new instance!

Enjoy,
Bill
