Conditionals in GDB manual


I've been working over the GDB manual, and am looking at all the
conditionals in it; AMD29K, SPARCLET, VXWORKS, DOSHOST, POSIX, etc.
There are about 40 of them, and as far as I can tell, many of them
have never been used to make a subset manual.  The exceptions are a
Hitachi H8-specific manual done in 1993, and more recently an HP-UX
specific manual, although many of the HPPA conditionals should appear
in the generic manual also.

So I'm considering whacking most or all of the conditionals.  This
won't matter to most people, because the default build/configure
enables almost all of these conditionals.  However, if anybody has a
good use for a particular conditional, you'll know what it is and can
tell me, so that I preserve it.  (I'm already discussing the HPPA bits
with Roz de la Torre at HP.)
