I think it was always public so I assume we included it for the sake
of people reading the libstdc++ docs offline. These docs can be
generated and installed when building GCC, the onlinedocs aren't the
only way to read them.

In this age of always-on broadband internet connections we probably
don't need to bundle an outdated copy with our sources.

My vote would be to remove them, but maybe Paolo remembers another
reason we started bundling them.
