Package: yforth

I am the one who originally packaged yforth for Debian in 1997, and am
still the sole maintainer of the package.  I haven't personally used
yforth in a number of years, and the last package update was in 2012.

As per bug #1068474, the yforth source code is crufty in ways that make
it unlikely to ever work on anything but a 32 bit machine.  Upstream has
disappeared, and nobody particularly wants to work on modernizing this
code.  

Given the existence of better-maintained Forth interpreters gforth and
pforth in Debian, I see no reason to retain yforth.  Please remove
yforth from the archive.
