removing stale files (was: Re: cvs commit: src/etc Makefile locale.alias locale.deprecated nls.alias)

Well.  Then I have to rehash $subj issue again.  There's important
point with removing old (currently unsupported, or correctly to say
-- partly supported) locales.  They should be removed at installworld
stage.

We have to define and implement infrastructure to remove old files
at installworld stage.  But I think there're already someone who
has it implemented.  Otherwise I'll spend some time, write and commit
it.

We can't educate and force everybody to do right things.  And since
we can take care people from making mistakes - we should to do it, IMHO.
