I guess there are three options:

1. Fix it and deprecate it.
2. Deprecate it, but don't bother fixing it.
3. Remove it without bothering with a cycle of deprecation.

I'm not planning on fixing it, and I don't think anyone else should, 
either--there are too many other more important things to do than fix a 
module that hasn't worked in who-knows-how-long and is going to be 
removed anyway.  So #1 is out.

My initial preference was for #3, but David C. suggested sticking with 
the deprecation policy, which is fine with me.  I'll just remove it next 
week, after 0.8 is branched, so it will be gone in 0.9.  So, revision 
r6416 assumes #2.
