I just changed the call from mdunlink to smgrunlink, but this brings up
a good point.

smgr is a generic i/o interface layer that allows multiple storage
managers.  Currently, we always use DEFAULT_SMGR as a parameter to smgr*
functions, causing calls to the md* routines.  Is there any value in
just removing the smgr layer completely.  It was originally for a CD
jutebox i/o layer in addition to our current disk i/o layer.
