Re: [rfa] delete more mmalloc remnants


This patch deletes more remnants of --with-mmalloc.

I tested this by building on native i686-pc-linux-gnu and
running the "break main; run" test.

I need several approvals for this, including a doco approval.

Okay to commit?

I agree with anything user visible being removed. For the remaining internal stuff perhaphs hold off a little. I'd like to see:


- ISO-Cify src/mmalloc/ (yes it really is still k&r) and export a "struct mdesc" like object.
- implement a obstack like object that is derived from the mmalloc object (so that the mmalloc directly knows about it and hence can directly save/restore it - no need for all the messy code I zapped)
- look at using that in the symtab always


Now that there's a clean slate someone might be interested.
