Obsolete +BUILD_INFO keys
Does anyone legitimately use the following fields in +BUILD_INFO?
BUILD_HOST
CC_VERSION
GMAKE
PERL
While looking at cleaning up the PROVIDES/REQUIRES handling I noticed
these that have been there since around 1998 and I don't think they
provide any useful information, nor see why they are special (i.e. if
we're logging these then why not hundreds of other tools?)
If nothing else they're wasting a bunch of execs for every package, and
making an already very complicated target even more so, and so I'd like
to remove them.
