Description

The sources contain some quite old code which is likely no longer used.
We should identify the code and consider removing it.
This came up because Nico has been testing compilation on M$, and found
problems with some of the old files.

Apart from being untidy (& possibly embarassing) the old code does sometimes cost time if we have to maintain it.
What potentially old code is there?
  • jalloc and debug_malloc in TmpFactorDir -- I presume they were for debugging, and valgrind is better??
  • the server code -- do we ever use this any more? Are we likely ever to use it again?
  • what else?
