I'm wondering also about killing the purify/quantify/purecov targets
(and associated documentation). I'm not even sure if IBM still sell
quantify or purecov. They still seem to sell purify, but I'm not sure if
anyone is using it these days. eg

    Valgrind's technical support is better. (Yes, I've dealt with both.)
    Valgrind doesn't cost $2,364 [rational.com] per seat.

so cull this plus documentation:
