orphaning ivman

Hello,

I have submitted ivman and it was approved
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208737
but I have never built it and I allready would like to orphan it for the
following reasons:

* the maintainer is not interested in maintaining ivman anymore because
  he is not happy with some element of the design of ivman
* there is no default conf for the vendor nor real local conf, only per-user
  conf
* there is a potential license issue
* I wrote a substitute
http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/halevt.html

I don't think the license issue is so problematic that we have to remove
the files (it is only an issue of conflicting licenses for different
people that contributed to the software), but it seems to me that the
new package maintainer should solve that issue.
