If we were continuing to support them, then oldlibs is where they'd go. As
we're not, project/orphaned may be better. On the other hand, that makes it
difficult for people to install them, and the a.out runtime stuff is likely
to be useful for a few people who don't want to dig around on our ftp site
to find it.
