Re: Retire the MPW support from toplevel and binutils

I'm sure you already knew this, but you'll need to update the cvs modules for the repository at the same time you're doing this - these files are explicitly named in there:
Er, the modules file should _not_ be updated. You can always add, but never remove entries.
In this case, these support files have been obsolete for longer than the sourceware repositories have been live. From a completely maniacal outlook we'd never want to remove files like this, but looking at it realistically, there's nothing being lost here. Yes, if someone checks out binutils 2.10 (one of the first releases after the repositories moved to sourceware, circa June 2000) by a cvs command they'll be missing the mpw support files from the top level.
On the other hand this will cause them to mysteriously disappear from
the current live GDB and BINUTILS branches.
Anyway to sit on this until after there's been a release pulled from
those branches?
