Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: Added -f (force) flag to ds_removal.  The -f (force) flag
tells ds_removal to ignore errors and attempt to remove as much as possible. 
This is only suggested to be used if ds_removal without the -f flag fails, and
you really, really want to remove the ds.
Platforms tested: RHEL5, Fedora 8, Fedora 9
Flag Day: no
Doc impact: no

Test 1

1. make test server has no physical spaces left (in order to generate segmentation fault for ds install)
2. install DS (and of course, it will fail)
3. remove failed DS install without -f option : ds_removal

Test 2
4. repeat step 1,2
3. remove failed DS install with -f option: ds_removal

compare removal result : test 1 has error output, test 2 does not

Test result: PASS

======= remove without -f ======

===> remove is clean, no error msg output. the final removing result is same as ds_removal without "-f" option
