Please don't aggravate a simple discussion by adding words like "war".

The name of that file is currently almost the only remaining cruft.
Please look at the history of the file and see how much cruft was
removed from there in the last 2 years.

I am not sure why are so opposed to this.

Let me repeat the arguments.
We have a generic function "unexec", most programmers would look for
the normal implementation in unexec.c, but that's the wrong place for
everyone, except you.

We have these files:
unexaix.c
unexcw.c
unexec.c
unexelf.c
unexhp9k800.c
unexmacosx.c
unexsol.c
unexw32.c

for all the name obviously tells what they are used for, except for unexec.c 

So this is mostly about what is most useful for the vast majority of people.
