I believe have some people using recovermgrd.  I don't like the way it's
written, but it was written for a reason.  One could argue that we
_should_ be using it ourselves...

The others were removed from being able to be compiled years ago - we
just couldn't easily delete them using CVS.  For checkpointd, cms, and
eventd, go ahead and remove them.
