I'd find it handy to be able to delete unregistered files directly
from the VC Directory buffer, similar to what Magit does when typing
'k' on an untracked file.

Maybe there could be a way to delete multiple files at once too, by
marking them first.

Yes, that's a command I've always missed.  I've added it to the trunk
now, bound to the `d' keystroke.

By the way, there's already a `vc-dir-delete-file' command, but it only
works for tracked files, and will notify the underlying VC.  So the new
command is called `vc-dir-delete-files-no-vc', which is a pretty awkward
name.  If anybody wants to change it -- please do.  :-)

vc-dir-delete-filesystem-only perhaps?  Although I wonder if
vc-dir-clean-files (which would only work on unregistered files) would
be better, since it seems like deleting a tracked file would usually be
a mistake.

Ah, yes, that's true.  I've now renamed to -clean-files and made it
error out on trying to delete tracked files.
