I use the XPM for the Debian package as well, so I guess it would be
alright to keep that.

I believe any of the website related stuff should be moved out of the
trunk. If we still want to keep it under version control, we can create
a new directory in the top-level of the repository for the files.

That seems to be esr's work on the Python fetchmail. I recommend that we
remove it.

This seems to me to be a copy (in portable pixmap format) of the X
pixmap file. I think we whould remove it as well.

Yes, that should certainly go.

I think we should move the testing scripts (torturetest.* and test*)
should be moved to dist-tools/test/.

The other scripts that esr used (getstats.py, growthplot, indexgen.sh,
listsize, makerelease, timeplot, timeseries, upload, and uploadfaq that
I can see) should be moved to dist-tools/.

Matthias, Rob, would you guys be alright this?
