Description

org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItem just uses a simple java
File.delete().

Especially, when a server using fileupload is sitting in a DMZ, one would want
it to also be physically deleted just like pgp wipe does it.

The right place to provide such a method might be commons-io? (see COM-1710)
