While tempting, I think this is too big a hammer for this problem.
I'd rather we not break anything that currently works -- whether it is
programs that run poorly, or even programs that currently compile (eg
where we may rely on a program not using some of the stubs).

Having a list of stubs would be a good start.  The ones I fixed this
weekend I ran across by chance; I had no idea we had stubs in AWT at
all.

I like David's idea of a STUB comment.
