Summary: Two typos in RmDir manual entry

Initial Comment:
> From the manual chapter 4, RmDir command description:

"Warning: using RMDir /r $INSTDIR in the uninstaller is not safe. Though it is \
unlikely, the user might select to install to the Program Files folder and so this \
command will wipe out the entire Program Files folder, including other programs that \
has nothing to do with the uninstaller. The user can also put other files but the \
program's files and would expect them to get deleted with the program. Solutions are \
available for easily uninstalling only files which were installed by the installer."

Problem 1:
The sentence "the user can also put other files [...] and WOULD expect them to get \
deleted" is wrong. You offer a solution of (automatically) uninstalling only your own \
files, which implies that everything before that "solution" is a problem. Thus you \
imply that it is a problem if you delete files that the end-user EXPECTS would be \
deleted, which of course doesn't make sense.

Solution:
Use "wouldn't expect" instead of "would expect"

(Or, if that sentence was meant as a note to the programmer than some users would \
indeed EXPECT you to delete all files in $INSTDIR, you should put the sentence \
separate from the 'problem' paragraph.)


Problem 2:
"...including other programs that has nothing to do with..."

Solution:
Should be "other programs that HAVE"
