distutils should probably stay in Parrot core, that is how many of our
library/HLL configuration systems bootstrap themselves.

Parrot/Exception.pir looks pretty unused, and all it does it provide a
"new" wrapper to Exception PMC. It can most likely just be deleted.

Getopt/Obj.pbc is used by distutils and others, I believe, so my vote
would be to keep that core as well.

The current medium-term plan is to obviate most of these by implementing 6model
in Parrot core, but we are not sure when that will actually come to pass.

+1 to killing PGE
