The perl scripts were recently obsoleted by C source executables.
Many of the others look to be for XFree 3.*. The exact lists of all
files distributed with NetBSD are available in the base sources, in
"src/distrib/sets/lists".

    # pwd
    /usr/src/distrib/sets/lists
    # grep xft x*/obsolete*
    xbase4/obsolete.mi:./usr/X11R6/bin/xftcache
    xbase4/obsolete.mi:./usr/X11R6/man/cat1/xftcache.0

shows that "xftcache" would be deleted by "sysinstall". Probably,
"xftlsfonts" is obsolete, too, but it wasn't judged to be dangerous,
so it didn't make the list.
