[gentoo-dev] Last rites: ccc.eclass

[Raúl Porcel]

This is an ancient eclass that was used when the Compaq C Compiler still
worked, but was removed from the tree some time ago.

Removal of the eclass on 2010/02/01.

scarabeus told me that the eclass can't be removed until two years since
the deprecation date, so...

Removal of the eclass on 2012/01/11

Reasoning?  Prior to env saving we couldn't particularly punt 
eclasses, but env saving is widely deployed now...

Council decision,
I dont agree with current approach, but this is still valid rule we
should obey or opt to change.

At least my argument at the time was that better to be safe when the
benefit from removing old eclasses isn't that much.

Still, waiting another two years to be able to remove an eclass which
itself hasn't been used in two years seems a little ridiculous.  I can see
waiting two years from when env saving went into stable, but that's passed
already.

wxlib.eclass was recently removed (accidentally) after being
deprecated for just a couple months, and the world continued to revolve
despite it. ;)
