Simple, fast recursive file deletion utility for Windows

All existing utilities I could find either could not handle long pathnames (for example del /s /f /q) or were very slow (windows explorer would take hours or days). If you need to delete a few hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of files within reasonable time, this utility is the way to go.
USAGE:
fdeltree [options] <directory>
options:
/h - print this help
/v - verbose (print statistics every few seconds)
/f - force deleting of read-only files
BE CAREFUL! fdeltree will recursively delete the given directory without any further messages or progress report. On my a bit dated machine, it deletes more than 75000 files/directories per minute from hard disk.
