Landry, any thoughts on these removals?

[Landry Breuil (:gaston)]

i cant really speak for those, not knowing them. as for sco & unixware, from my understanding they're proprietary, so this cruft should go so that the eventual burden of maintaining nspr on those platforms ends up on their respective editors, if they still maintain them.

Thanks Landry.

Looks like we aren't aware of a valid reason to keep them, so let's remove those old platforms.

The patches for win95 and psos/riscos should be moved to a separate bug, so that we can mark this bug as resolved for 4.36
