I think we should remove everything from those directories that isn’t needed to build. I don’t know how to tell what that is. For sure the `Tools/demo` directory can go – there’s even a demo of remote execution there! 🙂

There are also some benchmarks (`ccbench`, `iobench`, `stringbench`) that probably ought to be moved to `pyperformance` so they can be used and maintained.

Etc., etc.
