That means we have to know BROKEN_UNLINK at compile-time. I had never
heard about AFP before this thread, but they seem mountable on Linux and
Windows. I don't know whether these platforms will have the same issue,
but I suspect they will (if the server rejects the unlink).

So, if my suspicion is right, we'd have to activate it on any platform
able to mount AFP, i.e. essentially everywhere.

With my solution, unlink() is always the last call in the function, so
it should behave correctly right? Or did I miss anything?
