This was actually part of a scheme to support full cross-compiling to
Macs, a la cygwin, with grez ("GNU Rez") planned to be the resource
compiler (needed for icons, menu text, etc - orthogonal to code
gen, which was always xcoff for PowerMacs).  Grez was mostly
working at one point within Cygnus, but with the advent of OS X
and its vastly different internals, the grez rationale evaporates.

So yes, this is OK to delete.
