[PATCH] Remove gdb/nlm subdirectory

[Steve Ellcey <sje at cup dot hp dot com>]

A few days ago I sent out a question about the gdb/nlm subdirectory to
the gdb mailing list and why it used autoconf 2.13 instead of autoconf
2.59 like the rest of gdb.  While it appears the subdirectory could be
updated it also looks like nobody is using it anymore and that it could
be removed from gdb.

So here is a patch to remove the gdb/nlm subdirectory.  I don't have a
netware platform on which to test this, but I did test it on a couple of
other platforms just to make sure my changes didn't break configure or
make in general.

What do people think?  Does one of the maintainers want to approve this
patch?

- @section Using the @code{gdbserve.nlm} program
- 
- @kindex gdbserve.nlm
- @code{gdbserve.nlm} is a control program for NetWare systems, which
- allows you to connect your program with a remote @value{GDBN} via
- @code{target remote}.
- 
- @value{GDBN} and @code{gdbserve.nlm} communicate via a serial line,
- using the standard @value{GDBN} remote serial protocol.
- 
- @table @emph
- @item On the target machine,
- you need to have a copy of the program you want to debug.
- @code{gdbserve.nlm} does not need your program's symbol table, so you
- can strip the program if necessary to save space.  @value{GDBN} on the
- host system does all the symbol handling.
- 
- To use the server, you must tell it how to communicate with
- @value{GDBN}; the name of your program; and the arguments for your
- program.  The syntax is:
- 
- @smallexample
- load gdbserve [ BOARD=@var{board} ] [ PORT=@var{port} ]
-               [ BAUD=@var{baud} ] @var{program} [ @var{args} @dots{} ]
- @end smallexample
- 
- @var{board} and @var{port} specify the serial line; @var{baud} specifies
- the baud rate used by the connection.  @var{port} and @var{node} default
- to 0, @var{baud} defaults to 9600@dmn{bps}.
- 
- For example, to debug Emacs with the argument @samp{foo.txt}and
- communicate with @value{GDBN} over serial port number 2 or board 1
- using a 19200@dmn{bps} connection:
- 
- @smallexample
- load gdbserve BOARD=1 PORT=2 BAUD=19200 emacs foo.txt
- @end smallexample
- 
- @item
- On the @value{GDBN} host machine, connect to your target (@pxref{Connecting,,
- Connecting to a remote target}).
