Proposal to remove Xopus from Lenya

[Andreas Kuckartz <A....@ping.de>]

Hello Lenya community,

here is a proposal from Lon which I post to the list with his permission. I
think is reasonable and should be considered. It was one result of a private
exchange with him.

nobody is forcing anyone to offer this to a customer. But the code is 
still interesting, even if it's a year old.
And it is working. Maybe some kid in the future will pick it up and 
enhance it.

again, nobody is being forced to use it.

Well, anyway I am +1 to remove the actual Xopus code, but not the interface.

Thanks
