Hello!

I think it's time to disable mcserv by default in the MC sources.

We now have "fish" support in MC on the client side and OpenSSH on the
server side. Who needs to run a slow server using a non-standard protocol
when a standard-compliant, fast, secure replacement is available?

mcserv only makes sense for embedded systems. But, in order to take
advantage of it's small size, it should be more portable than MC itself -
it should compile on the OS'es used in embedded systems - DOS, QNX, BeOS,
maybe even PalmOS and Windows CE.

I suggest moving mcserv to a separate directory "mcserv" with a separate
configure script. The top-level configure will only descend there if
explicitly requested by "--enable-mcserv"

On the other hand, it should be possible to take the "mcserv" directory
and compile it on any system having a C compiler.

mcserv will also be removed from the RedHat specfile.

Regards,
Pavel Roskin
