Personally, I'd go with FileUtils.rm( Dir.glob('*.zip') ), just
because it is more portable, and doesn't incur the cost (negligible,
but still :P) of spinning off a new process. Additionally, I have to
deal only with Ruby's idiosyncrasies. No need to pile cmd.exe's
baggage on top of that. ;)

(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
