Every other file and directory created under this directory is already being removed, and if by chance some other user-created files happen to be left behind, the rmdir will fail and the files will be preserved (the pre-existing rmdirs will also fail in this case). This commit will not damage any user data, and its purpose is to make 'make install deinstall' of the port (or equivalent pkg_add ...; pkg_delete ...) revert the system to an untouched state.
