what should we do about this?  cvs delete gnome2-perl and gtk2-perl?  
or should we instead just put an empty file in the toplevel named 
"CURRENT_IS_gtk2-perl-xs"?

Perhaps you could make a backup of each of them, make that available on
the website for historical purposes, and then delete them from CVS? This
way if anyone did show any interest in them (for who knows what reason)
they could still get the code, but it wouldn't be in CVS misleading
people.
