[RFC] Remove contrib/ from our repo

I propose that we remove the contrib/ directory from our repository,
and from our distribution. A couple of reasons for this:

  * Some of the scripts have licensing issues.

  * We don't even keep the webpage claiming to describe these tools up-
to-date.

  * We don't claim to support them, yet they are hosted and shipped by
the project. (In the early days of the project, it was useful to give
these unsupported scripts a place to host and a way to ship. With the
ubiquity of Subversion, and the availability of external hosting
sites, we should get out the business of providing project hosting for
these scripts.)

Thoughts?
