[developers] [pet] PET code / modules to delete because unsupported or unused

[Stephan Oepen]

hi bernd,

i had a go at cleaning up in the YY parts of the PET code this weekend.
to decouple our 'spring cleaning' from ongoing development, i created a
branch for this: 'ng' (next generation); see:

  http://pet.opendfki.de/changeset/820/

purging ten or so years of accumulated 'clutter' is kind of fun.  if you
wanted me to, i could have a go at the various ECL interfaces next?
or maybe you would rather purge everything that remains from your
list in one fell swoop?

i have tested my recent commits to the NG branch only superficially.
i am assuming once we are down to only code that we want to keep,
we will have a more careful round of testing, including the various
build configurations that remain supported.  speaking of which, i am
in favour of making ICU an obligatory element, i.e. no longer try and
support a non-UniCode version of PET.

best, oe
