  Modified files:
    .                    Makefile Makefile.inc1 UPDATING 
    share/man/man7       build.7 
  Added files:
    .                    ObsoleteFiles.inc 
  Log:
  Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
    - removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
    - works in interactive (default) and batch mode
    - respects DISTDIR
    - documented in UPDATING and build(7)
  
  The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
  obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
  files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.
  
  Additionally add check-old target:
    - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces
  
  Design goals:
    - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
    - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
    - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
    - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)
  
  Important design decissions:
    - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
      * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
        without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
        yet)
    - not using mtree like NetBSD does:
      * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode
  
  Discussed on:           arch (long ago), current (this year)
  Additional input from:  re (hrs)
  Approved by:            mentor (joerg)
