Oops, wrong package.
@java, should we keep or remove this package? We can apparently mirror it, so dead homepage is not a big deal. However, it doesn't seem to be used by anything.

Would you do the honors?
i never ever did this before so i suppose it'd be much faster for you than for me. but sure i could do it if needed.
I have 27 packages more on my list, so I'd really appreciate if you could do this one. Or at least provide a good reason/message for why it is being removed.
