Those directories are shared by a lot of modules.  They get pulled in 
because of a special rule in CVSROOT/modules.  I have modified 
CVSROOT/modules so that checking out gfax won't pull in those two 
directories now.  If you remove the directories with "rm -rf" in your 
local tree, they shouldn't come back again if you do "cvs checkout".

I have restored intl again, but there seems to be a stale lock in the 
macros subdir making it difficult to restore.  If someone else wants to 
restore it (ie. someone able to remove the stale lock), go ahead.  Greg 
maybe? :)
