Suggested removal: SINS -- SINS is not Sscave



I intended to adopt this program, but then I started looking at the
source.

It is a combination of English and (I assume) Swedish function and
variable names; it reimplements C library functionality (poorly); its
makefile is broken and default CFLAGS include -O6 -march=686 (thankfully
the previous maintainer fixed this); it #includes other C files instead
of real multi-file compilation methods; upstream looks dead (and not
someone I'd like to work with anyway).

I don't feel this package will ever find a good maintainer, and being
only 1k lines of C it is probably easier to rewrite than to fix (and I
may do so over the coming weeks, because I like the game). I don't think
it serves our users to ship unmaintained, unmaintainable software.
