Description quetschke 2007-11-24 18:04:49 UTC 
Dmake currently contains several parts that are unmaintained and probably
broken. This is an umbrella issue to remove those parts and do some clean-up.

Candidates for removal are:

* mac/* - Files for the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW) (Mac
  OS 7.x/8.x/9.x.)

* qssl/*

* tos/*

* msdos/* - Only the support for Compilers before MSVC 6.0

Most of this is untested in a long time, if someone wants to revive the code
again and make it work I am happy to help.

Another possible clean-up:
* Require an ANSI compatible C compiler, we have 2007 now, since the standard
  was ratified in 1989 it's about time for this ...

Moved to Apache Extras, where it will be ignored ;).
