Well spotted!

Agreed.

Agreed again. Unless someone volunteers to check this file ``soon'',
feel free to go ahead an merge it.

This is interesting for archealogists only. :-)  I went ahead and
removed it.

I'm Cc:ing the maintainers of some of these ports on this reply.
Hopefully they'll have a look! <hint> <hint>

The ns32k has been removed from our CVS tree October 1st by Mark
Mitchell, so I went ahead an removed README.NS32K.

And unless someone objects, I'll also remove README.X11 which is
completely out-of-date as well.

I think we should remove this from our CVS sources and distributions.
Any objections?
