Deleting .DS_Store files

I distribute freeware PHP scripts that I have developed, they are often collections of files in directories and subdirectories, so to distribute them I make different versions for people to download, (.sit.bin / .tgz / .zip). The problem is that when I create these all the .DS_Store files are included, people upload these by FTP to their websites and then if they try to delete folders they can't. Now, I know how delete these things (rm -r to delete and ls -al to see them) but I'd rather they weren't there in the first place. I can use Snax and go through delete them all, or do it in the terminal, but it's dull when there's like 40 subdir's.

So, anyone know a smart way of doing it?

Regards

Zim
