Summary:                    [patch] code cleanup: remove not maintained
pbx_kdeconsole and pbx_gtkconsole from tree
Description: 
pbx_kdeconsole seems not maintained since ages, only 7 commits so far and
the last one is more than 1,5 year ago and it does not build cleanly on
Linux. Actually I could not build it even working around
warnings and errors at all: like running moc manually, which was not done
by Asterisk building. The libqt checking seems not to be working properly
as well.

pbx_gtkconsole only received simple maintaining changes commited for a lot
of files, very rarely directly to it to fix an issue. The same applies
here: last real commit was almost 1,5 ago by russell to be
able to at least build and load it. I tried to build and use it on OSX and
could not.

Is there anyone really using these modules? If so, how? I suppose the most
people can use right now is pbx_gtkconsole, with no guarantee of success,
that's for sure. I guess they should be removed from the tree because their
functionality can be accomplished by using AMI, there's no real need to
keep more than one kind of remote console, and KDE 4.x already provides a
Plasmoid API for monitoring with a CLI-like if one still wants it.

I almost can bet there's nobody using these modules, saying it from the
lack of any bug report about any of them recently.

Comments? Anybody against it for some obvious reason?
