release notes:
i've also deleted basis-1-synch-1, and will probably continue w/ this
three-version window in the future. deleting these old patches means
i can also delete the associated cvs tags so that they don't pile up.

README excerpt:
This dir contains a work-in-progress port of GNU Emacs to VMS.
(I don't care what they call it, to me it will always be "VMS".)
It is "work-in-progress" along several axes, each of which we
move along a bit at at time (trying not to regress even though
that can be difficult to determine w/o a proper test suite):
Code Porting, Build Methodology, Installation Methodology, and
GNU CVS Repository Integration.
NEWS excerpt:
- basis-4-synch-4 | 2005-05-26
- Code Porting
No changes.
- Build Methodology
- No more standalone TRADCPP
The [.TRADCPP] subdirectory has been dropped. It used to
contain a standalone version of the GNU C preprocessor, hacked
to work under VMS, and used by CONFIGURE.COM to as part of the
flow for creating various DESCRIP.MMS files.
Since the system C preprocessor does the job well enough, if
passed the /STANDARD=VAXC switch, we no longer need TRADCPP.
- TPU routines factored into [.VMS]CONFIGTAIL.TPU
A large chunk of "in-line" TPU code from CONFIGURE.COM_IN now
resides (cleaned up and in much more compact form) in the new
file [.VMS]CONFIGTAIL.TPU. These will probably be merged w/
[.VMS]ROUTINES.TPU at some point.
- Installation Methodology
No changes.
- GNU CVS Repository Integration
Aside from DESCRIP.MMS and files that go into its creation,
all [.LIB-SRC] merges are now complete.
The patch filecount is now 73.
