Done.

This whole directory should be nixed -- it's 5 years old and contains
mostly misinformation, like ancient versions of standard library
modules...

This hardware probably doesn't even exist any more...  I'm for nixing
it too.

All these are stdwin-related.  Stdwin will also go out of service per

(Conclusion: most multi-arg append() calls are *very* old, or
contributed by others.  Sigh.  I must've given bad examples long
