3.9 Release Files Cleanup

Although we are in no immediate danger filespace usage on the community
server is constantly on the rise. Over time I will be contact
particular groups for cleanup of their files but at the current time I'm
taking a look at the files in the FTP site: http://ftp.squeak.org/

In particular I wonder if we couldn't perhaps cleanup the 3.9 release
files, currently they take up well over a gigabyte of space:

91M 3.9
669M 3.9alpha
443M 3.9beta
178M 3.9old

Surely we can pare this down significantly.

I'd suggest getting rid of the VM_sources directory too, since it
confusingly kinda-replicates the squeakVM.org svn repository

OK. Is there nothing in here that might be of historical interest that
is not duplicated elsewhere?

Everyone: Note this is your opportunity to voice an opinion on this.
Unless you speak up soon or Tim change's his mind, this directory and
it's content will soon disappear.

Note the content being referred to is, for now, at

http://ftp.squeak.org/VM_sources/
