The old files and configurations are available in either CVS, or, for 
for the really old stuff, in the GDB archives (on the FTP site).

Hopefully people can figure this out from the NEWS file.  Each 
target/system should have an entry recording when it was added and when 
it was deleted (a few don't though).
