All right, I've got the first (of several) patches sent to
gcc-patches.  This one *only* cleans out makefile targets for nonexistent
directories; it doesn't actually do any autoconfiscation.  It does,
however, make the job of autoconfiscation a lot easier for me.  Hope this
can get reviewed   quickly...

My next patch is to autoconfiscate the remainder of the 'utils'
directory.  It *looks* like this is part of GDB, and so should be
submitted to gdb-patches -- is this correct?
