I think we should have a new release before removing this, since the 
changes aren't in 2.9.5, and the 2006.03.17 release has some 
incompatibilities with 2.9.5 (with the system function, for example), 
which have been fixed in CVS. By the way, I just did some more removals: 
the extras/ver20 and extras/fake-sparse.
