[patch] don't build send-pr,prms,gnats.tar

[Nathanael Nerode]

'prms' and 'send-pr' are leftovers from building GNATS in the ubertree.
Modern versions of GNATS don't and can't build in this tree, so I figure we
can get rid of this...

2002-07-02  Nathanael Nerode  <neroden@gcc.gnu.org>

	* Makefile.in: Don't build prms, send-pr, or GNATS tar files.
	* configure.in: Ditto.

Red Hat still uses send-pr internally.  I don't think we use prms
internally though, but safer to just leave those in place for now
since they're all related.

I don't see any harm in leaving this stuff in the Makefiles.

On the other hand, I think it's important we clarify this somewhat; I
have already received one email asking a question about whether or not
your message implies that Red Hat is somehow "special".  So, I am
going to try to answer that question here.

The right question to consider when making a change is whether or
not it helps the overall community.  In some circumstances,
inconveniencing one party in order to get some other benefit is
the right decision.  On the other hand, inconveniencing one party
without getting much benefit in return isn't a good thing.

In this case, I think what we want to say is:

  Some folks still build send-pr out of this tree (I know Red Hat does;
  I'm not sure about other people).

  There's not too much benefit in getting rid of these things (they're
  not really standing in the way of the autoconfiscation stuff) so we
  may as well leave these things in place.

Right, sorry, that was my "dj as a red hat employee" response, not my
"dj as a maintainer" response.  The pattern is this: we ask if
anyone's using a target, if either (1) nobody says they are, or (2)
someone knows why the target is there and can explain why it isn't
needed, then we take it out.  In this case, I knew RH was using it so
I spoke up.  If anyone else spoke up for their targets, we would have
kept those as well.  Usually, of course, Stan tells us the sordid
history of the target and we all agree to remove it ;)

Obviously, if there's a benefit to removing something RH still needs,
well, that's RH's problem.  If we (RH) can't justify it to the net
community, we (RH) will just have to figure out a way to deal with it.

Sorry for the confusion.

> Sorry for the confusion.

No problem; I think we're all on the same page, and I just wanted the
community to see that a) that's true, and b) what page it is that we're
on.

Thanks!
