This is just a delete.  I've fixed the pgFoundry permissions issues and 
will be loading the last CVS snapshot today.  At that point, Bruce can 
delete stuff.

Can you be a little clearer on which things are non-working patches, and 
which things are pending due to lack of review?   I'm all for bouncing 
stuff that's not ready to go, but bouncing stuff because we haven't 
recruited enough code reviewers is just bad practice.
