New components for Bugzilla


We have the following components in glibc Bugzilla (numbers of open bugs 
indicated):

admin|web|git	  0
faq		  1
hurd		 11
libc		163
linuxthreads	  2
localedata	 50
manual		 58
math		 94
nis		  0
nptl		 29
nscd		  5
ports		 10
regex		 11

163 "libc" bugs in particular is rather a large set for someone interested 
in going through and fixing bugs in a particular area.  I'd like to 
propose some new, more specific, components to help make it easier for 
people to find bugs in a subject area and see what areas need the most 
work (just as things such as "regex" are split from "libc"):

* soft-fp (some bugs are presently in "libc", some in "math").

* stdio

* malloc

* ldso/libdl (for anything relating to the dynamic linker)

* network (for getaddrinfo etc. and any network-related functionality)

These components are based on my impressions of what significant groups of 
"libc" bugs there are.  In 
<http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00385.html> I also 
proposed "build" (we have a few such bugs in "libc" at present).
