Glynn,

thanks a lot for your efforts! 
Now is should be possible to build a working GRASS 5.1 as
all tools added to the exp are available again.

To start the cleanup: We need to categorize the code somehow.
With my scripts I can easily remove entire directories of
unwanted code, but that's probably not desired.
However, we have to achieve a code base with is understandable.

Does it make sense to maintain a file
CONTENTS
with a status comment for each module (=subdirectory)?

Then, probably I am missing something: Are the files which have
been deleted on release_branch also gone on exp? Or are they
mixed into the working code? Sorry for this naive question.
