Comment 3 for bug 1719670

The need for this will be going away very soon.

Currently if the host environment doesn't have the EPICS_HOST_ARCH variable set, the build system will use the EpicsHostArch.pl script in the startup directory to set it to the default for the OS and CPU that Perl was built for. That script is being moved into the $(TOP)/src/tools directory from where it will be installed into $(EPICS_BASE)/lib/perl and the build system changed to find it in one of those two places.

The remaining files in the startup directory are being cleaned up and simplified by J. Lewis Muir. They will not be needed by an installed system, but are intended to provide sample scripts for sites to customize and use themselves as they wish.
