currently we allow quite a few editors in the list of editors that comes
bundled in a default roller install ...

editor-ekit.jsp
editor-text.jsp
editor-dhtml.jsp
editor-text-js.jsp
editor-wiki-js.jsp
editor-rte.jsp

i'd like to trim down the list to maybe 2 or 3 good editors?  there are
a few javascript based editors, which seems redundant anyways.  i'm not
even sure if we want to ship with the ekit editor installed anyways? 
obviously the text editor is going to remain.  there is also a midas
editor which is no longer used?  can it be deleted?

the motivation for this is 1) to keep us from having to maintain more
editors than are needed and 2) some of these editors will likely break
when we add the second "extended" entry field anyways.

so basically what i am proposing is to choose just 1 javascript/dhtml
based editor and try and keep that one updated and as comprehensive as
possible.  then have that editor combined with the text editor as the
only editors shipped with roller.  we can also optionally continue to
include the ekit editor, but it's probably the least used editor.  the
ekit editor may also become problematic when we try and add the new
extended entry publishing field because the editors would now need to
cover 2 textareas.

so, can we trim down the editors list a bit?
