Removed it. Thanks.

Cuneiform is not GPL, it is BSD. That directory contains leftover
stuff from the Windows version, such as a DCOM component, sample code
and other such stuff. I don't know exactly what they are supposed to
do, as I have very little Windows knowledge. I have decided not to
remove them, because I want to preserve the full functionality of the
Windows version in case the projects are ever merged.

Cuneiform has already been uploaded to Debian experimental. Thanks to
Daniel Baumann for doing the packaging. He seems to have removed that
directory in his source package.
