RIP soldep

[Andre Fischer <aw...@gmail.com>]

I have just removed the unused module soldep.  It seems to have 
contained ancient parts of the build system. I saw references to the old 
build servers that, on Windows, had to be mounted on r:, n:, w:.  I saw 
Perl parsers for reading build.lst files and convert them to XML.  I saw 
handwritten C++ parsers for reading these XML files that use handwritten 
implementations of hash maps.

Sometimes I think we should build a museum for code that has no other 
place.  But then again, much of our code that would belong into such a 
museum is still actively used.

More information can be found in issue 124316.

Regards,
Andre
