Re: Nuking unexec

I have heard _no_ complaints about pdump since the bug where some

around sometime around 21.4.5, with the single exception of the
annoying .dmp files. As long as those are now gone on all platforms
(I think OG fixed that last summer?) I'm in favor of getting rid of unexec.
I still have a workspace containing OG's code for dumping bignums. I
had to remove one bit of type-checking he had. It used the comma
operator, but every C compiler I used warned about that construct, and
g++ couldn't digest it at all.
It looks like that workspace is slightly bitrotted. I'll work on it
over the next couple of days and commit it.
