Intent to retire: novacom-client, novacom-server

In the deep mists of time, I managed to get a HP Touchpad in the Great
Fire Sale of 2011[1] and got to experiment with the Glorious System of
Operation that was webOS.  Next, naturally, was packaging up novacom,
the webOS USB management tool (think the WebOS equivalent of adb), for
Fedora.  Despite selling my Touchpad a couple of years later, I've
continued to maintain novacom, mainly due to the fact that there was
very little work involved.

Unfortunately, this state of affairs has ended.  Libusb, one of
novacom's dependencies has been retired, and it's not clear to me that
it's worthwhile (or even possible) to keep novacom alive.

So, unless I hear from someone who wants it within the next week and
has a plan on how to fix the current FTBFS bug[2], on August 23, I will
retire novacom-client[3] and novacom-server[4].
