Hello All!

This little series removes the generation of the big file that contains
all license texts.

So far, we expected that all license files were plain text, so we could
concatenate all of them into a big file.

However, not all packages provide plain text license files; some provide
a PDF or an RTF file. Those can not be easily added to that big file.

Furthermore, the license files are already aved individually, in a
per-package directory.

Removing that big file will allow us to list binary files as license
files. A user interesting with still having all licenses in a single
file can still reconstruct it by his own means.


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
