The distinction of contrib/ vs tools/ is supposed to be more a
reflection on the quality of the program.
contrib/ should be considered demo-ware, no back compat guaranteed,
may or may not work, no testing guaranteed, no man pages.
tools/ should be for any program that we intend end users to actively
use in real world, with an expectation of quality and stable CLI and
man pages.
