[issue1669] shutil.rmtree fails on symlink, after deleting contents

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Thanks for the patch. I think it should raise IOError, not ValueError,
and it should use the onerror() handling used for all other errors.
Also, can you include an update for the docs in the Doc tree?
