Tree mods worth mentioning

We've removed the JavaScript engine and the
NSPR library from the tree. There was basically
nothing which used them anyway, so the net effect
is that builds should be faster.

However, this also means that we don't use the NSPR
build system anymore. Previously, when NSPR was
in place, it was possible that AbiWord might accidentally
build on non-Linux platforms. In fact, at least one
person reported success in trying to do so.

Now, AbiWord will only build on NT and Linux.

This is a temporary condition until we get autoconf
setup. In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience.

By the way, this will break your view, since directories were
deleted. Here's how to fix things so you can do a cvs update:

visit abi/src/other/CVS/Entries and delete the libjs and nsprpub lines
then rm -rf the 2 directories
then you can do a cvs update....
