Your list:

These are gone:

lsp/Makefile.dvi 
src/algebra/Makefile.dvi 
src/input/Makefile.dvi 
src/Makefile.dvi 
src/interp/Makefile.dvi 
src/doc/Makefile.dvi

These should never be in the "distribution" which should only contain 
files in the mnt directory. The obj and int directories can be deleted
at any time. They are only caches.

obj/noweb/contrib/kostas/Makefile 
obj/noweb/src/c/notangle.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/getline.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/match.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/modules.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/modtrees.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/strsave.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/main.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/errors.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/columns.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/nt 
obj/noweb/src/c/markmain.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/markup.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/markup 
obj/noweb/src/c/mnt.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/mnt 
obj/noweb/src/c/finduses.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/recognize.o 
obj/noweb/src/c/finduses 

These are used by noweb. In particular, the document command will
invoke nt and markup. 

mnt/bin/lib/nt 
mnt/bin/lib/markup 
mnt/bin/lib/mnt 
mnt/bin/lib/finduses 

I'll look into these. There shouldn't be Makefiles in mnt.

mnt/bin/Makefile.dvi 

This should remain. It is the primary documentation root and
needs to be available to users before the build. It is essentially
the top level "README" 

Makefile.dvi 

I'm confused. You siad: "need to be executable" but you wrote: "chmod -x"
which will remove the execution bit.

This part of noweb and is an internal command
./mnt/linux/bin/lib/nwmtime 

These are TeX macros not user commands and can't be executed.

./mnt/linux/bin/tex/axiom.sty 
./mnt/linux/bin/axiom.sty 

These are the components of the boxup command which works as follows:

boxup foo

rename foo to foo.org
concatenate head, foo, and tail (in that order) into foo.pamphlet,
run notangle to extract foo from foo.pamphlet,
diff foo and foo.org to ensure that 

./mnt/linux/bin/boxup 
./mnt/linux/bin/head
./mnt/linux/bin/tail 

These will go away:

./mnt/linux/bin/Makefile 
./mnt/linux/bin/Makefile.pamphlet 

These are Axiom internal data files, not scripts

./mnt/linux/algebra/topics.data 
./mnt/linux/doc/msgs/s2-us.msgs 
./mnt/linux/algebra/gloss.text


I have no idea what this does:
./mnt/linux/bin/htmltoc 

This was a feeble attempt at document support. Texmacs and ADVI
extensions will eventually do better.

./mnt/linux/bin/showdvi
