There's just the documentation in install-old.texi for the old VMS build 
system to remove.  (Note that the install manual is quite fragile, with 
all the @node links manually specified, and changes in other bits of the 
manual might be needed along with the removal.  When removing those docs 
it will be necessary to test all of DVI, info and HTML (the 
install.texi2html script) generation for the install manual.)

Quite possibly some of vms.texi is also out of date; the VMS maintainer
ought to look over that file and update it as necessary.
