If the current camlp4 code is compatible with ocaml-4.08 then the fix
would be a two-lines patch for its configure script and removing the
BROKEN line.  Compare that to useless churn due to the unhooking/removal
of two ports, and quirks glue to mark the packages as obsolete.  And
then the people actually willing to fix camlp4/mldonkey would have to
undo all of this.

No need for quirks magic when you mark a port BROKEN.
