I intend to go through and remove some more of the files that have been 
made obsolete by CAM.  Those are some of them, although I could probably
port scsiformat to camcontrol.  You can add libscsi to that list as well.
Give me another couple of days, I'll try to clean them out.

I think most of the things that ncrcontrol does are either already done by
camcontrol or the devstat utilities.  Or if they're not, they can probably
be easily added.  I think Justin said it doesn't work with the CAM port of
the NCR driver anyway.

Ask Matthew Jacob.  It was necessary at one point for the QLogic driver.

The xpt device is required for camcontrol to work, but it isn't an
optional part of the system.  It is enabled by default when you enable SCSI
support.  (the code for it is located in cam_xpt.c)
