I'm considering axing a bunch of files from the Epoch distribution.
These files would include everything VMS-specific (since apparently
Epoch won't compile under VMS without extensive modifications anyway)
as well as files from 'etc' as follows:

  3B-MAXMEM 2K
  AIX.DUMP 11K
  APPLE 3K
  BABYL 5K
  CCADIFF 7K
  COOKIES 5K
  DIFF 30K
  GNU.JOKES 1K
  GOSDIFF 24K
  LEDIT 3K
  NICKLES.WORTH 13K
  ONEWS 51K
  OONEWS 48K
  SUN-SUPPORT 9K
  SUN-BUG 2K
  XDOC 18K
  Xkeymap.txt 10K
  calibacy.1 0K
  echo.msg 3K
  emacs.icon 2K
  emacs.names 7K
  emacstool.1 5K
  emacstool.c 14K
  ledit.l 5K
  leditcfns.c 1K
  qsort.c 6K
  sex.6 2K
  termcap.dat 58K
  termcap.ucb 130K
  ulimit.hack 1K
  xmouse.doc 1K

(Those files were chosen because they're out of date, not useful, or
both.)

Chopping these files from the distribution would decrease its size by
about 500K, which would be nice.

If anyone has objections to this (because of a sentimental attachment
to Richard Stallman's cookie recipe, or something), please let me
know...

Thanks,

Marc
