May I remove setup.xml and cygwin-ug.xml?


These files in winsup/doc appear to have been replaced by setup-net.xml and cygwin-ug-net.xml. The Makefile doesn't use either of these as input to any of its outputs, and they're not referenced by any of the other input files.

Further, if you try to build a document from either of these, you get errors due to missing XML chunks. (e.g. setup-reg.xml, referenced by setup.xml, doesn't exist.)

When I first discovered this, I thought for sure it meant I'd somehow screwed up the SGML to DocBook XML conversion, but ruled that out thus:

    $ grep -Rsl setup-reg winsup

If you do that to both the current tree and to a tree rolled back to before I got my commit bit, you find that only setup.{xml,sgml} contains that string. It means the pre-Warren tree couldn't build documents from this file, either.

I'm not in any particular hurry to get rid of these files. They only trouble they're causing is the same any clutter causes. I want to make sure no one knows a reason either has to remain in existence before I nuke them.
