I think fastjar is dead.

libiconv is still used by some people building for some gdb hosts.

We used zip for libjava before fastjar.  I don't recall whether it was
in-tree or not.

Random historical note -- back in the day, I wrote a bunch of Metaconfig
changes to make it so perl could be built in an autoconf tree :-).  This
was for a Cygnus product.  That is why perl appears in here.

prms is the old name of gnats; send-pr is a bug-submitting script for
gnats.  Both dead.

target-qthreads was from a very early port of gcj.  It is a cooperative
threads package based on longjmp.  I think this was dead before libjava
was imported into the public GCC tree.
