56 unfetchable unmaintained ports - candidates for removal

[Sam Lawrance]

I have accumulated these for a little while. Reasonable attempts to make
them fetchable again by finding a new home or archive have failed, so
they should be decent candidates for removal.

I think they should be marked DEPRECATED and given an EXPIRATION_DATE.
Maybe some of them don't deserve it - in that case let me know.

List attached.

Cheers
Sam
