No one looks in the old cvs versions. Better to have a separate
directory.

Good idea, but most NOT_USED must be checked to see if there is anything
valuable in there. If not, it can be removed. Age is not the issue.
We have code from Berkeley in NOT_USED because sometimes we may need it.
You can remove it when you understand why it was there, or what it is
doing, and know we will not need it.

We may be able to remove them all someday if some suggests that. They
are usually quite old.
