[Bf-committers] eltopo

[Campbell Barton]

if the version in trunk is old and not being developed, could we
remove eltopo from trunk for the time being?
Otherwise if we keep we could sync with recent one in the cloth-eltopo branch.

Suggesting this because its the second time a developer found an issue
with the old eltopo in trunk.
