If you don't mind me asking ... who has asked you to start removing code at random? 
Are you developer/tester for this project? There's plenty of code which needs refactoring.
Take, for instance, edit_readline.c file, it doesn't work on some platforms. To my mind,
improving existing source code has more priority than removing 'still in use' code!. 
Secondly, it is a good practice to ask people around before getting rid of functionality.

Should you require further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me off list.

Ciao.
