If you don't care much about the way icons are arranged, just remove the
extraneous files and folders:

find . \( -type f -iname '.DS_*' \) -or \( -type d -iname \
	'.AppleDouble' \) -exec rm -rfv \{\} \;

I do this because the files are included in ZIP files, and I really
don't like having to explain to people using Windows that they should
ignore the .DS_Store files and .AppleDouble folders.
