Migration: this is/was a tool to assist 1.0.x -> 2.1.x migration. Can be
nuked
ant: sure -- your dev OS should have it, unless hudson/jenkins relies on
this folder
gcc: this seems to be used by the UI javascript?
Junit/mockito: both libraries are used for unit tests, not sure this is
safe to nuke
Tooljars: not sure if folks are using selenium. Haven't seen any test
cases driven by selenium
