[Building Sakai] Eclipse metadata files (reviving an old proposal)

[Stephen Swinsburg]

+1 to removing them. Another reason is that it only takes a small  
mistake in one person's environment and that person committing them  
back to the repo to screw up everyone else's environments, less hassle  
to leave them out of the repo altogether.

cheers,
Steve
