Okay, then, I'll move all ide/unsupported and the other now
unused and unsupported IDE files into a new folder "deprecated",
as discussed.

For those that are already in "unsupported" I don't see much
difference, but deprecated looks maybe "stronger" than only
unsupported.

If nobody objects, I'll add a note to the README file(s) that
the deprecated IDE files will be removed before the FLTK 1.3
release.

P.S.: Side note to "Cairo support":

Making Cairo an own Fl_Device would be another beast. Currently
we have that minimal Fl_Cairo_Window support that enables users
to do their own Cairo drawing that Fabien implemented some time
ago. We need --enable-cairo to enable it, and as you wrote: if
you don't link it,...  The vc2005 project files contain additional
project settings that would enable a MS/VS user to use these
minimal Cairo window features. Unfortunately they have become the
default setup, so that we have even more confusion... I agree to
move this also to the deprecated folder.
