I am disinclined to remove these bits. libdes is distributed as a complete
package by EAY, and to go after individual files for each update is a pain.
I follow the precedent of larger packages (like gcc), where unneccessary
_directories_ are nuked if the need is enough (like for non-i386
architectures)
