These are the freeware packages that came with IRIX 6.5.  Since much
of this is already available elsewhere here, or is of questionable
value, etc., and because installing it adds a lot of time to the
install, I'm thinking maybe we should just skip the whole thing.
(Currently, it's taking almost a half hour to install all these,
and that doesn't include the source code packages that are included,
as I've already removed those).

All but a few of the files contained here live under /usr/freeware, so
another possibility would be to just install it into the os volume and
symlink /usr/freeware to it.  Or, I guess it could go into a locker.

There's also the following gnu software, installed under /usr/gnu,
which we could save additional time by skipping.  (I haven't yet
tried removing it from the install, so am not sure how much time
would be saved).
