since new branch is quite a lot better regarding quality and api
coverage, there's no point in keeping it.

do not remove it from cvs, just "cvs rm" it so that we keep history.

maybe can we the rename gtk2-perl as gtk2-perl-old and gtk2-perl-xs as
gtk2-perl but that's not so important

btw, what about renaming:
- GtkSpell as Gtk2-Spell
- GnomeCanvas as Gnome2-Canvas
- GnomePrint2 as Gnome2-Print

that would look saner, and cvs directories would match tarball
names...
