build files

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

Several build files in /config and /src/win/ are a bit outdated. I therefore propose to remove the following files from CVS. Please let me know what you think.

No longer supported platforms:

  config/
  config.amg: Amiga
  makefile.msc: Microsoft C v5: 16bit DOS compiler
  makefile.msw: Microsoft C v7: 16bit Windows compiler
  makefile.tc: Borland Turbo C++ v3: 16bit DOS compiler
  makefile.win: Borland C++: 16/32bit Windows (see comment below)
  term.pc.h: Intended for 16bit DOS.

  src/win/
  wgnupl32.def, wgnuplib.def: no longer required for Win32 builds

Those have more recent versions, which build out-of-tree. But they may still be in use:

  config/
  makefile.cyg: Cygwin, superseded by config/cygwin/Makefile
  makefile.mgw: MinGW, superseded by config/mingw/Makefile
  makefile.wc, config.wc, config.oww: Watcom, superseded by config/watcom/*

Btw. is there anyone who knows about the status of the Zortech (aka Digital Mars) compiler support (makefile.ztc)? (There are also a few terminals which require this compiler...)

I do have a (sort of) working updated version of makefile.win, which supports the freely available Borland C++ 5.5 for Win32 builds. gnuplot  builds extremely fast with it. But it crashes when I try to plot something and there doesn't seem to be a debugger available. AFAIK, it does also not support 'long long', which is needed by gnuplot's binary datafile support. We should probably drop support for it, too.
