I was talking about removing tix from the gdb module, not "cvs
remove"ing it (although that's an option, too).  Removing it from the
module will have the effect that Andrew describes since this just
involves editing the modules file in CVSROOT.  Personally, I don't think
it is a big deal.

You either confuse every future person who wonders why they're getting
the tix directory when they don't need it or you insure that those rare
individuals who 'cvs checkout' past versions of insight will not be
bothered by the lack of tix.

Hmm.  Sounds like tix can be removed from the top level Makefiles, too.
