Summary: lib-deprecated

Initial Comment:
obsolete modules are moved to lib-old.

deprecated modules remain in the library.

This makes the search for a relevant library more 
difficult. People browsing the code may not realize 
that they are deprecated.  (Example, I found no notice 
of deprecation within the code for rfc822.)  Even when 
the notice is there, the modules add to the number of 
alternatives, which hurts One-Obvious-Way-To-Do-It.

If these modules were moved to a deprecated directory, 
these problems would be greatly reduced.  (Ensure 
backwards compatibility by leaving the deprecated 
directory on the search path.)
