packages tree

Should we remove the packages tree? The packages are almost certainly
terribly out of date. There's been 1 functional commit (not including
things like URL and license changes from the ASF changeover) since
2009.

To give an example the RedHat rpm packages don't have a rhel-6
package, the documentation points for rhel-5 points you to a URL that
is dead and the dev list on tigris.

Back in the day it made a lot of sense to try and help provide some
packaging support. But at this point we are well packaged by a
variety of 3rd parties. So I'm not sure we're really gaining anything
by having these around anymore.

If we're not going to keep these things up to date then I think we
should just remove them.
