I covered nearly 6 years of obsolete files in this commit, but I may
have missed some. I also tried to add a short comment why a files was
removed. So in case you find a wrong comment or a file which isn't
covered by this commit feel free to send a patch or commit it on our
own.

I haven't specified a MFC time in this commit, since I only have commit
access at the weekends ATM. And at the weekends my spare time is shared
with other (maybe more important) things. If someone wants to MFC this
on his own: please run "make check-old" on a virgin RELENG_6 system to
make sure no files show up as obsolete.

Bye,
Alexander.
