There's no reason to keep them around, but no real reason to get excited
about removing them, either.  If there is something that will CAUSE
PROBLEMS, hopefully it ends up on current.html, and I'll incorporate it
into upgradexx.html, but the rest is mostly cosmetic.

There are gobs of library files and other things that get left behind on
an upgrade that really aren't an issue.  The deletion list this time
around was too long as it is.  If you want to look for files that are
older than the upgrade you just did, go for it, but I suspect you have
better uses of your time.

Nick.
