I'd been intending to get rid of the .texi files in libjava/doc, unless
there are any strong objections. The idea is that these are automatically
generated from javadoc tags in the source code, so they probibly shouldn't
be present in the source distribution. Also, they're quite ugly and
incomplete at the moment so I doubt anyone will find them useful (yet).
