  Log:
  Nuke 8hz-mp3.
  
  Reasoning:
  billf> This port is already marked BROKEN because of the license problem.
  billf> If the situation isn't going to change, someone should just 'cvs rm' this port.
  
  The situation will NOT change. The patent for mp3 is on the acoustic models
  used on coding and decoding. Since 8hz-mp3 has the patented acoustic models
  in itself, they cannot distribute their encoder.
  
  Considering above, we should cvs rm this port.
