After re-checking I have found out that both 'src/algebra/libdb.text'
and 'src/hyper/pages/ht.db' are not referenced from build improvements
Makefiles.  ATM I withdraw proposal to remove 'src/share/algebra/gloss.text',
pending extra investigation.

Actually, ATM both copies of 'util.ht' are in sync.  The following
patch removes reomves all references to 'src/share/doc/hypertex/pages/util.ht'
from the makefiles, allowing removal of 'src/share/doc/hypertex':
