lynx-dev Removing HTPasswd.* HTAuth.* HTAAServ.*: rationale

[John Bley]

The files HTPasswd.{c,h}, HTAuth.{c,h}, and HTAAServ.{c,h} define the 
following things:
 theTime (var), HTAAUser (type struct), HTAA_checkAuthorization,
 HTAA_statusMessage, HTAA_composeAuthHeaders, HTAA_startLogging,
 HTAA_authenticate, HTAA_checkPassword, HTAA_encryptPasswd,
 HTAA_passwdMatch, HTAAFile_readPasswdRec

HTAccess.c defines its own function-local "time_t theTime."
HTRules.c #includes HTAAServ.h but uses nothing in it.
No file outside the set of six redeclares or uses any of the above types, 
vars, or functions.

It is perfectly safe to remove these six files from the distribution, 
after snipping one line from HTRules.c and changing the makefile.
I can submit a patch for the CommonMakfile and HTRules.c changes if 
necessary.

This is a 41K snip if performed.
