Once we remove -frepo it will be an option we simply ignore - correct?  Then
people won't notice it isn't used anymore (unless it fixes the build
for them...).

OTOH we figured -frepo is broken beyond repair so unless somebody steps
up to actually _fix_ its issues I'm not sure what we should do when some
people come around and say they use the option?

So, let's just remove it now?
