I would much rather update the pointer after rebuilding our
distribution against the current Athena sources, to avoid
dependencies.
Since I expect us to be leaving behind emul/linux and
usr/{athena,andrew,X11R6} for backwards compatibility for essentially
forever, I don't see a reason to get a head start on getting rid of
the old /srvd reference.
I've removed the srvd and srvd.77 symlinks because:
1. I don't want people pointing their machines at
/afs/sipb/system/i386_nbsd1/srvd.77 and getting hosed when
it becomes something completely different.
2. "srvd.77" runs contrary to the version numbering we're
using for Linux and what I outlined in [1082], and you
didn't give any reasons for using a different version
numbering system.
