Maybe we should define then what a tool is. I think contrib/ has a few
more things that could be considered tools.

Also note that qemu-io-cmds.c is linked to the system emulator (for
HMP), so you would have to keep that somewhere else and spread qemu-io
over two otherwise unrelated directories. I'm not sure if that improves
the situation.
