Which is blatantly wrong. My bad. The patch directory is not removed
when a queue is deleted.

So, why is the patch directory kept when we delete a queue? Is that
something releated to quilt again?

Do we want to remove the patch dir on queue deletion?
If so, should we do it systematically, or offer the user the choice
to keep/remove it?

For information, in my attempt to implement queue renaming, I've been
beaten by this, and agreeing that the patch dir should be removed would
simplify the renaming code.
