cygwin-pkg-maint cleanup

[Jon Turney]

I've done a cleanup of cygwin-pkg-maint, removing a number of source 
packages names which no longer exist.

I also removed some source packages names whose ITPs stalled somehow. 
The packages were approved, but never got uploaded.  Future ITPs of the 
same are welcome.

this probably was killed upstream around the same time

I've done another clean-up of cygwin-pkg-maint, removing those source 
packages names which no longer exist after x86 was archived (i.e only 
existed as x86 packages)

Note that a lot of long obsolete install package names have also 
disappeared (e.g. ash, which was obsoleted by dash in 2009, etc.)

(Imagine a witty meme image here)

This removal is without prejudice any future ITP, if someone should want 
to do that, but that seems unlikely at present.

The same goes for everything else on that list.

Is there a point in keeping the cygwin32-* packages around any longer?

No, I just needed to get around to vaulting them first.
