Updating tools/Makefile to exclude what was added in the last years but
wasn't needed for TOOLS_BUILDRUMP=yes was not that much work.

Thanks for reminding me to do it that way.

Sorting them out was just time consuming because a) githubdate insists on
checking out a new repository from github, b) the cvs export taking a long
time, and c) the from-scratch builds in the VM taking a long time to.

Certainly a) could be sped up.

I pushed to my repos to github and the Travis build of buildrump.sh
succeeded an hour ago.  Yay!
