There's a bunch of files in vms/ which is always being shipped with
the official sources.

I'm working with the latest git sources. Not sure about the tarball.
On the latest git sources, the vms/wget.hlp file doesn't seem to be
updated. Hence, I'm assuming that the updated files aren't being
shipped at all.

I guess you'll have to work with the git sources to find the issues
with make syntax-check. I'lll try and mention them here too:

Similarly, for MSDOS files which declare some configure variables. We
should remove those too if not required.
