Solaris 10 ships Perl 5.8.4, and RHEL 5.11 ships Perl 5.8.8. Therefore, Perl
installations lacking this File::Path feature will receive vendor support for
years to come. Replacing the use of keep_root with rmtree+mkdir will add 2-10
lines of code, right? Let's do that and not raise the system requirements.
