Wow, it's been almost 2 years since I filed this PR.

If pcvt is neither supported nor working, wouldn't it
be better to remove it completely from the base system.
Just not to confuse the users.
Or perhaps it should be moved to ports for those who
are interested.

At the momement pcvt(4) man page still exists on i386 7.0-stable,
with no mention that it actually doesn't work.
