I guess I really need examples of what goes away and what gets
moved into tools from the current contrib area...
I'm just a little concerned that many users may not be able
to find generally useful stuff if the Subversion project
doesn't provide a common place for it to grow...
(Again, I'm not tied to /contrib, I just think there
should be *some* suggested location, rather than "somewhere
on the internet"... Even a separate project on tigris
is an option.)
