This is done now, except for
- removing support for MSDOS - Eli still wants it
- removing support for Mac OS version before MACOSX - I don't know what
exactly needs to be removed. Probably all the .mpw files, what else?
And all the code that depends on MAC_OS8 being defined.
Help doing this would be appreciated.
admin/CPP-DEFINES has a new section:
** All references to these symbols should be removed, all their definitions are gone **
There are many files that refer to those symbols. Removing those
references would help.
There's also another section:
** Temporarily put defines from removed files here, check if these
macros need to be documented or removed because they are not used
anymore. **
Some of these might not be defined anywhere, then, as above, all the
references to them can be removed.
