Hmmm, well, unlink() is the "more standard" function, so I'd vote for
using unlink() everywhere (even in the OpenBSD tree).

OTOH, we don't need a bsd-remove.c - just add something like

#ifndef HAVE_REMOVE
# define remove(a) unlink(a)
#endif

to "defines.h" would be sufficient.  Actually, this is exactly what my SCO
(OpenServer 3.0) does in <stdio.h> - which means that programs using
remove() have to include <stdio.h> for it to work.
