src/README mentions VMS files

Hi,

src/README contains:

--- cut here ---
See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
linking and building Emacs on VMS.

The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.

`uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
current user, but no one else.
--- cut here ---

What is the *real* status of VMS support? I see many #ifdef VMS parts in
the sources, but vms directory is almost empty. Is the info in vms/README
still valid?

Are you joking? Fast and lightweight HTTP server written in Perl?
