Unused TextSourceLabel, TextLabelFactory.createSimple( )

[Philip Race]

I don't know the history, so your guess is as good as any.

I looked at JDK 8 and createSimple was never used there either. That's 
as far back as I care about.

So I think they can be deleted unless someone comes up with a case where 
we should be using them.
