this is the best thing to do, in my opinion: completely removing "miscellaneous" could be
"hazardous".

I created the page wxcode.sf.net/categories.php which needs to be completed but I already 
added references to that page in the COMPSUBMIT & EDIT form.

I also updated the categories both in the Database and in the website since I assume those 
listed above are okay. Finally, I created the "multiple categories" feature.
So everyone can now re-categorize its own components.

PS: John, have you time to re-categorize the unmaintained components ? I won't be able to 
do it until next week
