Yes, I agree, the "src" (and "include") directory itself could also need
cleaning up. That's next on the list :) But best to start with the big
and easy things, which are the outdated drivers. What is the reason you
want to keep them in the toplevel SVN?

There aren't any changes supposed to be made on them anymore, and they
will stay in each tag and branch for reference later for the new drivers
(in case we really will want any new DOS or Mac OS9 drivers, which I
somewhat doubt - so probably the code is abandoned forever already).
