Question Beginner Drag-and-drop App Questions

While I am quite comfortable resorting to RTFM, I was hoping I could get some advice from any of you folks about what things I should be investigating if I want to do the following:

I have a very simple unix command I can execute in the terminal that basically runs 'rm' on the result of a find-by-name operation. I use this primarily to clean folder structures of .svn data folders when managing certain projects. Right now, I have to, of course, 'cd' to the folder that I want to clean, then execute the command.

It would be killer to have something along the lines of a droplet -- an icon / app that I could just drop a folder onto and it cleans the product, or even detects the user holding the option key, and dupes the files in a clean structure, with a destination sibling to the original root folder. I'm even open to building this in Automator, as I believe it may be possible (?). But it would be killer to have a small Xcode project to create this in, especially if necessary. Perhaps handle certain errors or regular occurrences visually as well.

Any input is appreciated. As I may have mentioned, I'm not expecting any tutorials or examples (though would not mind at all! ), but just some direction as to where to start. I have experimented with Xcode many times before (used to use it for AS2), and my feet are wet. I'm an experienced AS3/Flash Platform developer and am very familiar with OOP practices -- limited Obj-C / C knowledge.

Just want to know which trees I should be barking up.

Thanks in advance!
