deprecating macpath and macurl2path

PEP 11 notes that Mac OS 9 support was unsupported in 2.4. 
There are
still quite a few places that we check for sys.platform ==
'mac'.
There are also (at least) 2 modules (macpath and
macurl2path) that
look specific to Mac OS.  (OS X has sys.platform ==
'darwin'.)

Shall I add a deprecation warning on import to these modules
or remove them?

I plan to remove other mac specific code (checking
sys.platform) in
the stdlib unless someone beat me to it.

I don't know if anyone uses macpath for it, but OS9-style
paths are still used in a number of APIs on OSX.

macurl2path seems OS9 specific.
