    tmac/fixmacros.sed: Delete.
    
    Drop tmac/fixmacros.sed.  We hadn't ever actually installed it; it was
    provided only in our distribution archives, as far back as our history
    indicates.
    
    * tmac/fixmacros.sed: Delete.
    * tmac/tmac.am (EXTRA_DIST): Stop shipping it.
    * PROBLEMS: Recast and update relevant item description.  This is the
      only place the file was documented.
