Please see what I said about being sure to update contrib.texi when
removing such credits. I think NPTL merits adding to Ulrich Drepper's
entry in contrib.texi (but given that, the nptl/Banner file could be
removed completely).
I think crypt/Banner can be removed (the credit is already in
contrib.texi). The reference to a BIND version in contrib.texi should
probably be updated when removing resolv/Banner. More credits in
contrib.texi are needed to remove soft-fp/Banner. (libidn/Banner serves
the purpose of indicating whether the last remaining add-on is configured
in, so I don't suggest removing it until the add-on mechanism is also
removed and libidn is built unconditionally - however, the corresponding
credit could be added to contrib.texi now.)
