Patch: Remove src/blt, src/iwidgets, src/mmalloc directories

I have discussed the idea of removing src/blt, src/iwidgets,
and
src/mmalloc in all the email lists that I am sending this
patch request
to and have not gotten any negative comments about removing
these
directories.  I also contacted overseerssourceware.org and checked with
them but all they had to say was that it was an issue for
the normal
checkin process and email list discussion.

It does not appear that iwidgets or blt subdirs ever shipped
with a src
based product delivery, there are no gdb, insight, newlib,
or sim tags
on the files in these directories.  The mmalloc directory
does have gdb
tags on the files though my understanding is that it has not
been used
for quite a while even though it was getting tagged and
packaged with
the gdb sources.

So here is an official patch request to remove these
directories.  I
have write access to the cvs tree and could checkin this
patch if it is
approved but I am actually hoping that someone with more cvs
experience
would be willing to do the checkin since I have never
removed files from
CVS before (much less an entire subtree).

So, anyone want to approve this toplevel source tree patch? 
And perhaps
do the necessary checkin/remove too.

  There's nothing too tricky about it:

cvs rm -f mmalloc iwidgets blt

  Then when you're certain nothing's borked

cvs ci mmalloc iwidgets blt

to commit the changes, as per usual.

  BTW, do you need to check over the CVSROOT files and make
sure these dirs
aren't still referenced by e.g. 'modules' or any of the
other administrative
files?
