Hrm, -maxdepth and -empty are not even in POSIX.  Folks on GNU
platforms and BSDs (I checked NetBSD 6 and OpenBSD 5.2) should be
fine, but it makes other platforms unhappy.

What is this check used for?  To avoid running "rmdir" on non-empty
ones?  Saying "cleaning foo/" (or "cleaned foo/") when foo/ is
already empty is not a crime; not omitting an empty one may actually
be a better behaviour from the point of view of repeatability and
uniformity.
