Maybe some museum directory tree for outdated versions (perhaps not on
Simtelnet) as sometimes it could be usefull to be able to find old
versions for comparisson.

Some related notes:
	
I looked through current contents of v2gnu on ftp.cdrom.com

gcc-2.8.1, gcc-2.95 and gcc2.95.1 related archives are mostly (but not
fully removed):
	
	gcc-2.8.1 - there still g77-0523.zip which is useless without
	            gcc-2.8.1


	gcc-2.95 -  there still g77-295b.zip, readme-gcc295.txt


	gcc-2.95.1 - there still g772951b.zip, readme-gcc2951.txt

	gcc-2.7.2.* - there still gpc20*.zip which also are useless
		     withut corresponding version (one of gcc-2.7.2 or
		     gcc-2.7.2.1)

About GPC:
	GPC-19990118 were in DJGPP port of egcs-1.1.2 which is now totally
	removed. This is only removed piece I think it could be usefull
	to return

Also x2ftp.oulu.fi still have outdated DJGPP distribution (they seems to
have been stopped mirroring about 2 years ago).
