Branch cleanup: pdd30_install

Description

I examined this branch to determine whether we still need to retain it at HEAD in our repository.

Determining what was done was difficult as the branch was apparently created by copying an earlier, now deleted branch: cygwin070patches. In addition, it appears that there was a lot of updating of these branches with commits to trunk.

I did an svn diff of head in this branch versus the point at which the earlier branch was created from trunk. That diff came to 3.6M, so I'm not going to attach it.

What I am attaching is the list of files which appear in that diff. 682 files were altered. It appears that the work done in this branch ranged far from the installation concerns of PDD30.

Since PDD30 has been moved from draft to PDD in the meantime (in part building on what was done in this branch), I don't see a need to retain this branch at HEAD in our repository. I propose we remove it. Any objections?

Thank you very much.

No objections from me. There's a useful summary page at https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/Pdd30InstallTasklist.

Andy: Thanks for the link to that page.

Allison: If I understand the Tasklist correctly, the only outstanding items were the two bullet points under Held for extensive platform testing. Neither of those items, AFAICT, depends on the pdd30_install branch remaining at HEAD. Do you concur? If so, then I see no further obstacle to deletion of the branch.

Thank you very much.

Having received no further comments or objections, I removed the branch in r39717.

Thank you very much.
