* plugins.d/mandos-client.c (main): Use remove() instead of unlink(),
                                    and use it on everything in the
                                    temporary directory, not just
                                    files.

* plugins.d/mandos-client.xml (DESCRIPTION): Better wording.
  (OPTIONS): For the "--interface" option, document the unsuitability
             of pseudo-interfaces which will not exist in the initrd.
