From a completely maniacal outlook we'd never want to remove files like this, but looking at it realistically, there's nothing being lost here. Yes, if someone checks out binutils 2.10 (one of the first releases after the repositories moved to sourceware, circa June 2000) by a cvs command they'll be missing the mpw support files from the top level. On the other hand this will cause them to mysteriously disappear from the current live GDB and BINUTILS branches. Anyway to sit on this until after there's been a release pulled from those branches?
