The proposal is:
1. remove glib and python from current cvs HEAD.
2. branch HEAD to keep the old glib and python stuff in case we ever need 
it again (turns out this has already been done).
3. all future development will focus on HEAD instead of maintaining both 
HEAD and b0-16.

I would not be opposed to this.  Since Carey already branched we could 
simply remove slang from HEAD and add it back from the 0.17 branch if 
needed.
