Per the long-announced schedule, netatm has now been removed from the CVS 
HEAD.  Assuming no unexpected problems, it will likewise be removed from 
RELENG_7 in a few weeks.  I apologize in advance if there's any build 
disruption; this touched a lot of Makefiles, and while netatm hasn't been 
connected to the build in ten months, there is always a risk of problems with 
a change of this scope.  I'll keep an eye out for tinderbox warnings and 
correct as quickly as possible if any arise.
