Cleanup of tools/ directory
Hi!
I've stumbled upon the tools/ directory and there is quite a lot of broken code that is not really useful for anything.
The Makefile skips netpipe*, pounder21 and top-LTP directories. Apart from automatic changes nobody touched the top-LTP and netpipe* code for more than six years, so I would say that it's safe enough to remove these. The pounder21 had some fixes that looks like somebody is using that so I guess that we should keep it.
Then there are files that looks like they could be removed as well:
* STPfailure_report.pl - most likely no change since 2004, looks useless o me
* ltp_master, ltp_check, README, ltpoutput*
- remnants of some automated framework that used ltprun script that used runalltests.sh script, I will remove these since there is no reason to keep them now
In short has anybody anything agains removal of netpipe*, top-LTP, STPfailure_report.pl, ltp_master, ltp_check, README, and ltpoutput* from the tools/ directory?

I see pounder referenced occasionally in RH bugzilla reports, so I'd keep it.

My only hesitation was netpipe, which is referenced by couple scripts, but looking at tools/Makefile comment and fact we are not building it for so many years, I guess nobody will miss it.
