I will look on them, just to complete the effort ;-)
But IMHO some should be killed anyway
aewm++ ccdoc cramfs mtd ioperm xgraph xsri xview rxvt
as they are well dead upstream, and eventually also
nfrotz scsh wtf logiweb
for the same reason.
These have surely porting issue
ffcall flexdll xwinwm
like xemacs and pdftk so they belong to a different category
